I'm a Knottygirl!!!
Oh baby. On Saturday, I took an excursion with my sistahs Mary and Heather to Knottygirl, the new yarn shop in Fairfield. Wow. What an awesome little shop! The owner is super enthusiastic, which I love to see!
The decor is very, very cute - as you can see from the bag below, this lady knows style. In the front of the shop she has overstuffed velvet couches and a little plasma screen tv (ooh la la!) - it's called the Knotty Lounge. Tres chic!
I found the selection to be very nice - a great array of Colinette, Manos del Uruguay, Crystal Palace, Cascade and Berrocco. Along with a whole lot of little treats I simply have not seen anywhere else. If she adds Koigu, I doubt I'll shop anywhere else... Ah, Koigu...
While I was there I spent a disgusting amount of money - but how can one resist? I picked up some CP Squiggle for a skinny summer scarf, some Fizz and Fling for a future bag project, some Cherio (SUPER cute papery ribbon yarn covered in fleurs... I have no clue what I will use this for, but it will be something super, I assure you) and some Bling Bling for my Boozehag dedication project. Oh yeah, and a couple of sets of CP circ's for socks! The needles are soooo tiny!
The trip was a success and I will definitely be back! I heart Knottygirl.

I can't wait to chack that place out! I know a woman who lives right down the block from the shop, so I'll have to pay her a visit soon. Have you been to Yarn in New Haven?

OK, Fairfield is probably a bit far for me, but that shop bag...So worth the drive!
