Well we’re slowly getting used to the time difference. I think I’m pretty much on PST now but Andy still seems to be waking up in the middle of the night. It’s a lot of travelling and it does take a while to catch up to it.
Saturday was our first full-day in the city so we went to another city, Berkeley. We both like to see what’s in Amoeba Music – Andy for the cds, me for the dvds and there are other places there like Gilt where I stock up on soaps.
We didn’t make it over to Stash Yarn sadly but we did get to see Broken Flowers. It’s been out in the states for a while but had only just opened on Friday in the UK, so I was a bit gutted at the prospect of having to wait a week before seeing it. It’s a good film, lots of stuff happening beneath the surface. So we saw an early afternoon showing of that and then had a bento box at a noodle bar across from the cinema and went back to the hotel. The first day is always pretty tiring.
The hardest part of packing for a trip, for me anyway, is deciding what type of knitting project to bring. For this one I brought 40g of Fyberspates Silk Boucle and the Fyberspates scarf pattern. I’ve made this scarf once before but I think I was wrapping the yarn the wrong way around the needle because my scarf was a bit different from Jeni’s. It wasn’t as open as it should have been. The SF trip scarf is knitted on Denise needles rather than my usual Addis and I’m wrapping the yarn properly now.
This would be the time to post a picture of course because the scarf is quite pretty. But I haven’t got one to post – yet! Check back because I’ll be updating this entry with a picture soon.
