Scribble lace and 50% off yarn in Fort Worth area
Hey everyone,
Has anyone knitted the Scribble Lace Shawl yet? I started on one using some Mango Moon silk and an unidentified yarn in my stash. Only problem is that I only have one ball of each, and after 3 feet of gorgeous shawl I ran out of yarn. Boo!
If you've made the shawl, could you please let me know about how many yards you used? Thanks!
Also, if any of you live near Fort Worth, Texas, you may be interested in my LYS's yarn sale. My friend owns a shop and unfortunately she's going out of business. So for the next 2 weeks or so she's running a 50% off sale. She deals mostly in synthetics and novelty yarn, so if you love glitz and fun stuff you'll like her store. Lots of Berrocco. Great stuff for funky scarves and shawls. If natural fibers are your thing, she still has some Cascade 220 left, various Mango Moon, some Berrocco Cotton Twist, a bit of angora, and some alpaca. No sock yarn or double-pointed needles. She has various circulars left, mostly in sizes over 8. She does have Addi Turbos and I'm pretty sure those are 50% off, too.
She cannot take orders over the phone or ship them, so if you're interested you'll need to physically go to the store. She told me I could post this info but specifically said "no phone calls", so be kind. :)
The store is Phileo Yarns in Aledo, Texas. It's about 20 minutes west of Fort Worth. To get there from Dallas/Fort Worth, go west on I-20. Exit FM 1187 (exit #420) and turn left. Continue south about 2 miles. Phileo Yarns will be on your left after you cross the RR tracks, and it's actually inside Agape Coffee/Bookstore/Gifts
It's a very small shop, so unless you live within 30 minutes of the shop you probably won't want to make the trip. But I thought those of you in the area might want to know about this deal.

I can't for the life of me find the label for the Mango Moon, or my camera, but it's not the sari silk. It's more of a ribbon, flat in some places and twisty in others. So I'm using it for the large scribble. I think the color is "Sedona". There's a not-so-great picture of it here

My smaller yarn is also a ribbon, but it's somewhere between a sport weight and a worsted width.
I'm not a shawl gal, either, but I'm making this for a friend who adores them.
Kelly:
Thanks for the thoughts on tension. I was knitting pretty loosely throughout (It's so hard to be consistent when you're using slippery ribbon!) I think if I knock a few stitches off the width and pick up my slack I can get some more mileage out of this yarn.
