So my mom and I tried to go to this place in Fremont that a gal my mom knows owns. It is a yarn store, sort of Stitch Paradise Studio. Read their website, maybe you can figure it out better than I. It is some concept place and the owner offered me a free kit of some sort if I came by (remember that old Camel commercial, "I'd walk a mile to smoke a camel" I'd walk a mile to get free yarn!) So we went by and no one was there, no signs or anything, it is the weirdest thing despite it being listed as their "Open Hours." It is bizzarre because it is totally a residence and has NO signage what so ever and we were knocking and calling one the phone and could hear it ringing inside and no one was there. If they want people to come, don't you think they should at least have a sign? Harumph.
So then we cruised over to the Yarn Place. Whoops big mistake, right!? I bought too much stuff I certainly didn't need. I picked up 7 skeins of the silky nylon yarn in red. So soft and wonderful. I also got 2 dark chocolate brown skeins of Gentle and a blue and purple graduated skein of Graceful.
My mom also picked up a yummy deep red of Gentle that she wants me to knit into a shawl for her. Crazy. They have started carrying this really nice bamboo yarn that is SO soft and wonderful. I would like to pick some up next time I am there.I Totally thought I posted this entry. But I guess not. Today, 12/30, we went to the house of Teenuh and swapped Christmas presents and had a generally nice time. The kids had a good time playing Guitar Hero 2. I got a wonderful dish cloth knitted by Teenuh which is a really pretty pattern
and also a most yummy skein of Jitterbug sock yarn. Yaye, thanks Teenuh! I can't wait to knit with it!! Yeah!

Ok, so where were you hiding this post.. because I swear it wasn't here yesterday!!
Anyways, glad you like the sock yarn! My skein that I have is sitting in my crate of sock yarn calling out to me, but I had to beat it back because of the Paris socks! I think I will have to answer its siren song and knit my next pair of socks out of it. Mmm.
Now that I know where the Yarn Place is, it is SO DANGEROUS. They are just a blink of an eye away from my client! I've even gone there at lunch! (That's when the second colorway of the tweed yarn was purchased, oops) I may have to go there soon and at least grope thier yarn. Mmm. Oh, and beads! How fun. I love my scissor covers from there too, I have a green one for my Fiskars scissors.
