Casting On

It's in the embryonic stage, but I started a pair of socks using Lane Cervinia "Calzetteria," a wool/polymid yarn in funky colors found at Smileys Yarns in Woodhaven, Queens. Read my free plug for the store on knitty.com's coffeeshop link, under the "Yarn and the City-- NYC" topic. I think it's under the LYS topics.

IMHO means just that--an opinion. I occasionally run into a few closed-minded individuals who, under duress or too much caffeine get upset and attack. I'm plugging Smiley's because I love the store and it doesn't mean you have to! Some folks need special, handheld attention and want to buy higher priced yarns. Feel free to visit the other great stores in New York City!

Last spring I saw Calzetteria, an Italian sock yarn being sold in Windsor Button in Boston MA for $6.50/50g skein. I believe it was $4.50 at Smileys.
