San Francisco: intinerary - eKnitting, jazz and shopping!
I’m going to San Francisco today! Reason #1: to see my babe. Reason #2 (or perhaps this is a bonus): Visiting all the yarns shops! eKnitting is in Berkley, so that will be my first stop. I want to find some Adrienne Vittadini - no one around here carries that yarn, although Eva says she saw new Vittadini pattern books at the Yarn Garden the other day, so maybe they’ll start carrying the yarn too? But I digress…
My sweetie has a fabulous itinerary set up for us - art shows, dinners, jazz clubs, shopping! I’m itching to get on that plane! I’m taking a little Shetland sleeve with me for the flight - bamboo needles and a wooden cable needle - I’m so glad they haven’t banned those from flights. I did have a little metal cable needle taken away from me once last Christmas; it was one of those with the bend in the middle. Probably would have made a good weapon, though I don’t think I really look the type. However, safety first, I was happy to give it up for the cause and used a pencil on the plane instead.
Anyhow, I’m outta here - back on Tuesday! Have a good Labor Day!
I saw these bucket bags on eBay and thought they were so cute. I haven’t tried to felt anything yet and these would be a good sized experimental project. I actually have, in my small stash, 4 skeins of Chunky Lamb’s Pride in 2 different shades of blue that will work beautifully - I’ll be sure to post my progress.
