Hello from the west coast

Hi everyone! Sorry I've been MIA lately . . . Bill and I left for our vacation out west over a week ago, and we are coming up on our last day. In the past 9 days, we've seen Sedona, AZ, the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, Death Valley, Los Angeles, and now we are in San Diego. I will share some pictures and details in another post, but the knitting-related highlight of this trip was my visit (well, two visits) to Black Sheep Knittery in Hollywood. I had read in blogland that they were having a crazy sale, so I stopped by hoping it would still be going on. Well, here's what I have to figure out how to get into my suitcase:

Yarn all over the bed in our San Diego B&B.

I bought full bags (10 balls) of Rowan Cotton Glace in light blue, Rowan Handknit Cotton in shell pink, Rowan yorkshire 4 ply tweed (+5 extra balls) in hunter green and DB Baby Cashmerino in a dark lilac. I also got 7 balls of RYC Cashsoft DK in pink, 14 balls of DB Wool Cotton (9 in a dark blue, 5 in lavendar). So that's a total of 66 balls of yarn!! Perhaps that's symbolic of our couple of stops along historic Route 66 . . .

The full bags were a STEAL - 10 balls of Cotton Glace, 4 ply tweed, handknit cotton for $30?! Baby Cashmerino for $40??!

Anyway, just wanted to share that with you. For me, it was the best part of LA. See you back on the east coast with a non-knitting trip report!
