Finally The Kean's Field Trip!

Yesterday was a great day.  Finally, getting to Kean's and Twisted Fiber Arts, spending the day with Linda AND helping celebrate small business day.  I got a boat load of  stocking stuffers which were all unique and fun just like I thought I would.  I also bought some beautiful Twisted Fiber Arts yarn to make the stocking cap I talked about last week.  I got the pattern from adorable Hazel's grandmother and bought the yarn from Hazel's Mom.  Is that a family affair or what?!?!?  Hazel's Mom is the dyer for the exquisite Twisted Fiber Arts yarn.

I love this stuff!  Imagine a stocking cap going past the shoulders, gradually changing colors with gorgeous yarn.  The yarn design is Evolution and the color of the two on the left is Roy G. Biv.  The upper right is Carousel with bottom right being Roy G. Biv in Muse which is 50% silk and 50% merino.  I think I will use upper left.  What do you think?

This is Hazel's Mom and Linda.  See that basket with the bow?  Because it was Small Business day, Twisted Fiber Arts had a drawing.  I want it.  I have three chances.  I was tempted to buy more yarn just to have more chances.  
Look at the colorways hanging on the back wall.  This just a tip of the iceberg of the available beauty which quite frankly can't be adequately captured in a photograph.

Let me just breathe in the yumminess and beauty.  AHHHHHHHH!

Linda and I had a fun lunch, I got to see her son Rob and meet his girlfriend Stephanie and we were on our way home.  What a fun day. When I got home, I went to the Stash Studio (I still am wrestling with if that sounds more like yarn or drugs, help me with this) to sort through the great stocking stuffers.  While there my Knit, Swirl yelled, "You realize I am Linda's don't you!?!?!"  I thought this was mine, but it has Linda written all over it.  I have yarn to make a second Knit, Swirl so I will still have one.  I can see Linda wearing this.  I am so excited.  I had something totally different in mind for Linda.  So three treasures have found new homes for Christmas.  I have three or four more to go.

My Mom really can't read "Knitting: A Love Story" on the computer, so I am having a book printed for her.  This is the final post before the printer starts her magic.  December 1 begin a new year for "Knitting: A Love Story."  I can't wait for her to read it.  She was so thrilled with the Jocelynn Brown Free Press article.  I know she will absolutely love this.

That is so neat that you are having your blog printed into a book for your mom. I'm sure that she will really like it.

Love the Twisted Fiber Arts yarn. I made a shawl with the one I purchased.
