Took another trip to the yarn store to get materials for our Mother’s Day letter and yarn for a blanket that my friend, Karma, is crocheting me (woohoo!). This is the inside of the yarn store. It’s a pretty typical layout for a store of this size. You squeeze yourself into the tiny aisle with the other customers, and there is a store lady who follows you around to try to help you. She doesn’t know English, and I don’t know any yarn related words in Arabic, so I try to motion to her that she doesn’t really have to help me, but it doesn’t really work. So instead, she sticks around and eyes my choices, giving me (what I think are) suggestions and recommendations, but I can't be sure. Numerous times I have to squeeze against the shelf to let a few other woman pass behind me. When I check out, I discover my yarn was dirt cheap! With these prices, I’m tempted to learn how to crochet, but then I remember I have no patience, pay very little attention to detail, and would hate every aspect of yarn related crafts.
