I wasn't sure I'd be able to visit the yarn shops in Salt Lake City this trip, but as it's working out, I've had a chance to go to several.
Stopped in at Black Sheep Wool Co. on our first day here while John met with his boss at the office. And even though I didn't really "need" any yarn, I bought some anyway.
Found this new-to-me sock yarn by Pagewood Farm. I think it will work well for Monkey Socks.
A helpful employee made sure I didn't overlook this Soft Sea Wool. I've heard so many good things about it, I had to get some to try.
And I picked up several colors of worsted weight wool to have on hand for practicing stranded knitting. Perhaps they will become a hat or a pair of mittens.
Yesterday, John had to go back to the office. So while he was there, I drove over to Three Wishes and then after I picked him up, we stopped at The Wool Cabin. There was more yarn purchased, but I'll save that for later.
Have a great weekend, everyone. Next time I'll be blogging from Texas, where it's sure to be warmer.
I'll miss our nightly treat of Carolyn's Frozen Yogurt, but not the freezing temperatures.
The yarns are gorgeous - but eating frozen yogurt in the snow? You are one hardy woman!
ReplyDeletePretty yarn!
ReplyDeleteFrozen yogurt in winter! Careful, you'll turn into a Utahan! ;-)
Yay I can post! I don't know why I couldn't yesterday, silly computer. I like that soft yellow yarn, it's very pretty. I gravitate toward yellow in the winter, (my sewing room is painted yellow) must be the lack of sun ;o)
ReplyDeleteHave a safe trip back home.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous yarn! Nummy. The frozen yogurt too... lol.
ReplyDeleteMy sockapalooza pal made me monkeys from Pagewood Farm yarm (different colorway). They are gorgeous, and possibly my favorite socks.
ReplyDeleteI have had a very good shopping experience at Black Sheep before.
Brrr...it makes me shiver just to look at you standing in the cold eating frozen yogurt!
ReplyDeleteI envy you getting to visit all those yarn shops. :-)
Utah is beautiful. I love The Wool Cabin and I think I stopped in at Three Wishes. Is that the shop that is in the house with fabric? You look so cute with your frozen yogurt. Have a fun and safe trip and thanks for sharing your yarn with us.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you have been having a great time! What beautiful pictures! I've been in San Francisco all week ...wait for it....at Macworld. It was pretty neat although I was HAPPY to get home to my own bed.
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures of Utah! Yummy yarn and that yogurt looks good too:~D
ReplyDeleteDon't worry Yarn is like fishing tackle...you can never have too much! And there is always a good deal..
