Prague stash: Part Two
Okay, so yesterday, I mentioned the purple cotton yarn I bought in Prague. I also bought some 100% virgin wool--three skeins of a light charcoal gray, three of a dark khaki brownish, and eight of beige (you can see that I'm great at naming colors! Maybe that's why I wanted only primary and secondary colors for my placemats... They're easy! ^^). Each skein is 50 grams (ca. 100m each). I bought it from the big department store called Kotva--it should be easy to get directions to and the yarn and textile stuff is on the fourth floor, as I remember. Look to the right for photo of them. Now, what does he have in mind with all that yarn, you may be asking. I mean, who buys so much yarn without an idea of what they might make, right? Well, I kind of have a thing for bags.... I really like having different kinds of shoulder bags of various sizes for carrying things around. I decided that I really wanted to try making the messenger satchel from knitty.com, so when I saw these colors, I went ahead and got them (I mean, if you see colors you like, you should go ahead and get them because you might be able to find them back at home, right? ^^). Hopefully, I'll get started on it before the end of the year, but we'll see.... I'll definitely post photos when I get to it!

did you go to the MarLen store in Prague, too? I went there in March - it's tiny but they were super nice and I loved that they had stuff crammed into every available space! ~SP9~
