We arrived in San Francisco yesterday afternoon and it seemed a lot quieter at the airport than in previous years.
But you really want to know if I’ve bought any yarn yet! Nope not a skein or ball so far. We went to Berkeley today and I did look at some in Stone Mountain Daughter Fabrics but I didn’t buy any. The problem is that I’ve now been knitting for just under five years and my stash is at saturation point, I have enough to knit anything I fancy so I’m now very selective with new yarn.
So I guess I’ll buy some at Art Fibers when I go there, although I have lot of yarn from them in the stash too. So I’ll be looking out for some more Kyoto I think.
Someone who understands where I’m coming from and has been very good in knitting from her stash is Rachael! We met up with Rachael and Lala had great pizza, in fact I think that pizza could defeat the world! Certainly I could only manage one and a half slices! We also met most of their menagerie except for Digit, whom I really hope comes home soon. They have a lovely hose and wow, Rachael has such an organised yarn room! She claims it’s not tidy but since my yarn room looks like someone did a controled explosion of yarn in there, trust me her room is tidy!
Tomorrow is Andy’s 42nd birthday! So it’s a trip to the Haight and the big Amobea Records there. I imagine I’ll buy some dvds, and some Mountain Ocean coconut body lotion. I ran out of that a few months back so will be good to stiock up.
Other future highlights of the week are ImagiKnit and a combined manicure and pedicure!
Oh and the feather and fan scarf in 4ply cashmere by HandMaiden is going well. I’ve been too tired to work on it since the flight but am sure I’ll get some more knit this week.
Hello!!
Sorry I didn’t get back to you, just suprise me, I’d like something 4 plyish, but not lace weight. U choose the colour! Loving reading about your adventure. Jeni xx
