finally the proud owner of wool thread

I stopped by the knitting store yesterday but they didn't have anything appropriate for crewel. They weren't terribly helpful actually. I wish people would stop looking at me like I was from Pluto when I mention crewelwork. Really it's bad enough that no one carries it without making me feel slightly like a freak. *sigh*

The yarn lady did recommend the needlecraft shop in Manassas, which I had already found online. Having *nothing* better to do today, I drove the hour to Manassas to see what I could find there. I’m not obsessed or anything… ah right.

Finally, success! I have crewel thread… yay!! There were lots of yummy things in the shop but I stayed focused and just bought the thread I needed. The shopowner was very helpful too. In the end I bought 10 colors, making a total of 12 with the ones I already had. I tried taking a pic tonight but it didn’t come out well so I’ll try again in the daylight. I'm very happy with my colors, I can't wait to get started! *Jenny does a happy dance*

Really things should not be this hard though…
