My cute toy

Look what I picked up at my LYS, Alamitos Bay Yarn Company in Long Beach!  I was driven there by my lovely niece, Lena and her equally lovely bf. We got lost heading there since my GPS pointed us to the riverbed as our destination.  I was willing to swim for some yarn but my niece was not. We called the ladies at the shop and they were very nice and directed us to the shop while I was on the phone with them. I was loving them already. Also, it was 15 minutes to closing time and I was really worried about not having enough time. But she told me not to worry about it and did not kick us out.  The shop was perfectly beautiful, stacked with gorgeous yarn and projects. I ended up picking up some cotton yarn for lena's next Totoro sweater, and also 2 cute skeins of a green tweed for a sweater for Adam.

I am definitely out of yarn to continue my turtle sweater. Waiting for a lovely lady in Oregon to send me a skein of her yarn. I pleaded my case on Ravelry and got quite a few responses of people trying to help me. I love fellow knitters!
