Combat shopping

Just got back from two days of shopping in Anchorage with three of my girlfriends. We hit every fabric, fiber, and bead store we could find. What fun! I bought some wonderful silks and drooled over lots more. Can't find fine fabrics in our town, and it was a bit overwhelming to see prices of $50.00 per yard and up. Luckily dolls don't take lots of yardage so I could buy as little as a quarter yard and then it didn't seem so expensive. We all bought some knitting needles and novelty yarn and sat in our hotel room learning to knit those funky little scarves that are selling for upwards of $60. Mine is nearly done now. Doesn't take too long when you only have 11 stitches on the needle! So now I have something else to do .. ai yi yi. As if I don't have enough projects to work on. Ah well, it's all soothing to the soul.
