planning new projects...and knitting seriously

Yesterday, alter quite a long long time, I had the chance to do some yarn-shop hunting. I was unable to find a row counter here and I knew the best chance to get one could be possibly going again to Llanes El Globo (Pg. St. Joan, 34,-Eixample District- BCN), where I always manage to find all kinds of tools to crochet.

However, I tried first at a newly discovered yarn shop, downtown, Llanes Tosca (C/Ramalleres,17A,´-Ciutat Vella District- BCN). They had no row counters but there I could find really nice violet-greyish mohair yarn. I wonder if I’ll crochet or knit a vest or a bolero....

The huge crochet hook lying on top of the mohair yarn in the picture was a finding at Llanes El Globo. I had a 12-gauge hook....but some yarn or some ideas require that kind of odd crochet hooks. Ah...at Llanes Tosca there were 12 or 15-gauge knitting needles. That was too much for now and I guess it’s enough having up to number 9 (9mm) knitting needles.
