I needed another swift, even though I already have my wonderful amazing Goko swift. The only design flaw with goko is that it doesn't expand wide enough to handle larger skeins. Isn't it a beaut?
I thought since I was in San Mateo, it would be a good time to visit a Nine Rubies, a yarn store located in the Downtown area.
The folks there were very nice and the yarns were lovely. Unfortunately, they didn't have that much lace, but I did go home with my Mmmmalabrigo laceweight in apple green (okay, this was the only color they had.
Okay, this apple green is not a good color for me, but isn't it lovely? And I'm sure I know someone that would like this color...
Then later in the week, I went to Lacis. As the whole Niebling loving community now knows, they are publishing Lyra. Yay.

I'm pleased to hear I'm not the only one who buys yarns in colours -- well, just because they are there! I like the apple green - it's a happy colour.
And it is great news that Lyra is being made available again. With any luck this bodes well for reprinting more of his amazing work.
What a great swift--I'm envious. And I do like te yarn color--nice for a spring shawl.
