On my first full day in Geneva, I took a tram down to a neighborhood known for being a haven for artists, craftspeople, and the like. My kind of neighborhood, you know? It is called Carouge and I will admit…it was kind of overrated.
Sure, there was that kind of vibe and plenty of shops that fit the bill. Maybe I was expecting too much? One shop where I spent a considerable amount of time was the local knitting/needlework shop.
I couldn’t bring myself to pay Swiss prices for yarn. Most of what they carried was generic wool, wool blends, acrylic and novelty. Their needlework patterns were really cool, though. I couldn’t bring myself to pay Swiss prices for those, either.
They did have a bit of a sale on some of their kits. I ended up buying a tea towel kit. I’ve been working on it and I’ll share the pictures later this week.
