Thanks for the reference to Punjab woolens. If I need yarn I now know where to go, at least in Delhi. I’ll be in India for four months, but much of it will be in the south. I may be needing yarn to knit socks while I’m on the beach.

hope that piercing sort itself out soon, just thinking about it makes me twitch in pain. It’s funny how as teens we rebel against so many things and only embrace them again when we become sensible adults!

Good luck with the re-piercing. Where I live it is the norm to not have one’s nose pierced and I’ve therefore always admired those with the courage to get it done and not care if others do the same or not.

The yarn store pictures are remarkable and the bright colors and rows of skeins have me drooling. When knitting for babies and small children I almost always choose acrylic or cotton. They wash and hold up better than wool for little ones.

I used to have 5 piercing up my right ear. Some of them were right through the cartilage. I can’t even imagine trying to get them pierced again! I wish you lots of luck with yours and I admire you for doing it.

Ooh that takes me back! The Punjab Woollen store, that is!
Do do tell me what the blends are (brands etc) so I can look out for them when (if) I go to Delhi again. I’ve only ever found acrylic
Is the wool all imported then? How did you find the prices compared with the prices in the US/elsewhere?
And I’d also appreciate the actual address of the store so I can add it to my database (although I know which one you mean, I don’t think I could give directions instead of an address).

My nose has always given me enough trouble to preclude attempting to pierce it, though the thought has crossed my mind a time or three. I figure being a man with 8 ear piercings is enough to put me in a fairly exclusive club – even now and especially when I got up to that number 13 years ago. The curious thing is how many little old ladies tell me they love them.

OW! This reiterates for me the fact that I have no desire for any more piercings, ever. And the fact that even though I go for months without wearing earrings sometimes, I ought to wear them now and again so as not to have to go through that. Not that ears and noses are exactly the same, but still.

Hope it heals properly, and you can bask in the glory of your… nose.

And, of course, happy knitting. When are you heading back to CA?
