Before I got to my knitting today I had to run some errands.
I needed to go to a couple places in the same area as my favorite Farmer's Market, so I stopped in for some late season produce. Since we have a relatively mild climate for as far north as we are, this market actually runs year round, but today was the last day this year for the vendor where I bought the little eggplants.

I actually bought twice this many, but we had some for dinner mixed with mushrooms, bay scallops, and wine.
Then I stopped at The Weaving Works to buy Addi Natura needles in sizes I need for one of my cardigans plus a couple others I knew I lacked. I had some filled frequent buyer cards, since this is my main source for my Addi needles, and these needles came out more than half off.
I also got to buy art supplies for the Design class I registered for. I love playing in art supply stores. It looks like we'll get to work with a lot of different things in this class.

I finished the knitting on the button hole band on the Mountain Colors cardigan. I'm ready to start sewing it down but I'll wait until tomorrow to finish. I also split a length of my 4-ply yarn in two to use for stitching around my buttonholes to hold the two layers together and neaten thing up a bit.
Long before I rediscovered knitting, I used to spend much of my disposable income buying all manner of art supplies. Good times...
