My brain has a mind of it's own

So Saturday I actually dragged myself away from the computer early in the morning (I wake up early just fine. I just don't like to DO anything) and off to the local Farmer's Market. I figure, there's actual farmers here, there's probably a good market, right?

So I picked up some cinnamon raisin bread, and fresh eggs. There wasn't a whole lot there, but I hear it's a bit early for produce.

But what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a lady around my age with a spinning wheel and a table full of yarn! She said 'It's knitting in public day! Grab your sticks and come join me!" So I ran my eggs home, grabbed my folding chair and came back and knitted and chatted with her for a few hours.

It turns out she is on Etsy, as Paper and Yarn. And I somehow found myself buying two skeins of hand dyed sock yarn. It's beautiful and I want to work with it right now, but I do NOT know how to use dpn or magic loop or even how to knit in the round. So it will probably sit in my knitting bag for awhile until I build up confidence.

It was a pretty awesome day.

That yarn looks amazing and just a little bit like taffy.

Ooooh that looks nice! The colors are wonderful, m_steelggrave is right. Is it cotton yarn?

That's lovely! I'd love to see how it looks knitted up.

I've never learned magic loop, but knitting in the round isn't hard at all. You just keep going in a circle and don't worry about the wrong-side stuff.
