My favorite local bookstore is having what they’re referring to as a “Bye-Bye Sale”. Here’s hoping it’s just a bad translation, but I am not sanguine.
(Please, no laments for the wonders of indie bookstores. This is Page One, an international chain that I think is based in Singapore.)
Otherwise, the good news is that I did have enough pins to block my shawl; the bad news is that I didn’t have quite enough space. It will look OK, just not as large or airy as I’d hoped.
Oh well, if I don’t like it I can always reblock.
