My LYS = win!

I trekked down to Mass. Ave Knit Shop in Indianapolis a few days ago to search for blocking wires.

They had these ones by Fiber Dreams, which are awesome and worked perfectly:

Also: I forgot how much I love that yarn store. Five years ago, before I moved to LA, I used to come to Mass. Ave a lot–but I wasn’t as much of a yarn snob then, and I also wasn’t designing. Now I can really appreciate it!

This wall of buttons makes my heart go pitter-patter. I’ve been to every yarn/button/craft shop in the LA area over the past year trying to find a store with even a fraction of this selection:

My other favorite thing is their Madelinetosh TML rack–look, they have a few sample yards of ALL THE COLORS! How cool is that??

I think I’m lucky the shop is an hour drive from me…

    Look at all those buttons! So cool. Is that a giant one on the top shelf? I wonder where they all came from – and how long it took. That many buttons doesn’t happen overnight! Aren’t you lucky!

    woah, that’s a great LYS. I’ve never been to a LYS that has even 20% the number of buttons on that wall.

    Oooh, I visited their booth at Stitches Midwest last year, and now I’m even more sure that I need to go visit them.
