As I mentioned a few posts ago, I have been planning a Yarn Crawl called Yarn Harvest in the Fraser Valley. It is now available for viewing in detail on the
Fraser Valley Knitting Guild Blog sweet! Pop over, join up... it's this weekend and it is shaping up to be a blast!
On a trip to stop at the shops, we did a bit of yarn shopping. (oops)
Since I will be staying at Baaad Anna's most of the day... I won't really be shopping, but hay... Yarn Crawl!
Anyhow... this was what I got on my mini crawl. "Research"
A lovely skein of Fleece Artist Nyoni. I love this colour. Picked it up at
Gina Brown's in Vancouver.
Organic and low impact dyed cotton from
Plum Project Studios..... can you believe that this is over 800 meters! I
so have plans for this!
A Yummy skein of lace weight baby Alapaca By Diamond. Picked up at my weekend host
Baaad Anna's. I just love this colour, and it was so soft...... I was powerless. Mine now.
And last but not least, from the fantastic sale at
Three Bags Full........
Beautiful
Kauni. The colourway is ET. It is fantastic..... and yes I have plans for it. In fact as I confessed to my companions that day, I have been planning this purchase for a while. I have to say, checking out the colours on the site ELC is looking pretty appealing too! Well, I can always have more plans! LOL.
We actually hit two other yarn shops that day, and I did not buy anything. One was rude..... well chilly in their reception and the other..... I didn't see anything that made me take it home, but I think I was just scared to start shopping because they had some lovely stuff! Woo!
So, nest post a few projects that I have been working on... some Bitterroot progress, and two other shawl/stoles that take up my time... but are sooooo worth it! I finally knit with my
Sweet Georgia Silk Crush Yarn that I picked up at Fibres West in um..... March? Yikes! Wait to see what I made, I love it! Have a great week. Hope to see you yarn crawling Vancouver and the Fraser Valley!
