The sock and I haven’t had many adventures together. Yesterday, because the sock doesn’t get out much and we could, we went to see the water. We sat on the boat, I knitted a bit, and off we went. Not much to it really. The sock felt better. So did I.
Then we went to do errands. I found this button (not part of the errands). Amazing, no? I’ll have to plan a project around the button. The tag says it’s rock, the sales person said ‘rock’. Sure looks like wood to me. Guess I’d better bite it.
After all the excitement, we hit the Dollar Store in search of hair combs. You know, the kind that holds your hair back?? No where! They are really hard to find. Anyway, a quick run a round the store yielded some great finds. Three new net bags for washing fleece. A 10 pack of emory boards (that should restock each knitting bag and have some left over). They are great for sharpening split and broken needles as well as ragged nails. And, finally… chipotle stuffed olives, holy smokes! Not bad, for a buck a piece.

GREAT button, but tough call. There are rocks that look like wood, but that looks more like petrified wood, which looks like rock, to me!
That cannot be a rock… petrified wood? but not a rock. It’s way cool.
Nice! I’ll go with the petrified wood judgement of my esteemed colleague who got there first.
I loooove dollar stores. Hit one this week. Whew. Spent more than a dollar.
Looks like unpolished tigereye.
Hmmmm…maybe it’s painted rock! If you want hair combs check out Sally’s Hair Salon and or CVS.
I had a hard time finding the combs you mentioned when looking for some for an older friend. (I wanted clear since she has gray hair.) Do you know that I finally found a pack of 10 – assorted colors – at the grocery store! (Publix – not sure where you live.) Good luck & nice button!
