Gulp. After my public disclosure to family, friends and the world, I can't believe I bought more yarn! Actually, yes I can. My excuse is that, well, it was one of those once in a lifetime moments. Really. Trust me. It's true. Sarah Dimond of
The Plucky Knitter was having a trunk show of luscious, yummy, beautiful hand dyed cashmere, silk and merino beauties at
Churchmouse Yarns and Tea on Bainbridge Island. I drove to downtown Seattle and parked at our empty, wanting to be rented soon condo in Belltown. I walked down 1st Avenue past Pike Place Market, down Harbor Steps and then along the waterfront to the Colman Dock. It was interesting to see the shops and merchandise for tourists along my route. It was so energizing to be outside and walking through the Emerald City early in the morning. People walking dogs, joggers running through the park, farmers putting up produce at the market, coffee drinkers and Sunday paper readers at sidewalk cafes. I met up with Naomi, Ellen and Amy at the Ferry Terminal. We boarded for the quick half hour crossing from Seattle to Winslow. On the ferry we saw Sarah and also had the pleasure of meeting her friend Nicole who had come out from Michigan with her. I was impressed they had ventured to Mt. Rainier for sightseeing and hiking the day before! On the other side of Elliot Bay, we ate breakfast at Streamliner Diner and then went to nearby Blackbird Bakery to wait for the yarn store to open. Once there, I indulged in some cashmere in lavender and eggplant colors (no surprise there!) and then some other silk-merino blends in teal, green, brown and dreamy aqua-gray called "The Light Side of the Moon". Fun, fun, fun day with my fiber friends!

Well, seeing that photo I must say it would have been rude not to add to your stash!
Actually, "it would be rude not to" always works for me whenever I see yarn I want. Sometimes I'm extremely easy to convince.
