On the way north, stopped in at one of the cutest LYS, Cast Away, in Santa Rosa. Justine (owner) is the sweetest thing, and she has a nice selection, beautifully displayed. She happens to carry my (so far) second favoritist sock yarn, Knitcol from Adriafil. I found 2 balls of it at the-store-that-shall-not-be-named (the LYS local to me here in South County), but haven't seen it anywhere else. It's yummy, and you can knit it on #2 needles = fast socks!
Then on Saturday, KB and I went to Village Knitters, also in Santa Rosa, and I got 5 skeins of Brown Sheep's Cotton Fleece in a lovely Robin Egg Blue. A nice summery color for another Lacey Vee Tee.
Sunday was the Healdsburg historic home tour, where we got to peek inside 6 downtown homes that have some historic significance (although sometimes the 'historic significance' was that the house was more than 50 years old). No matter, they were all beautiful, especially the one that looked very nondescript on the outside, and very very very modern (and gorgeous) on the inside. In that house, the kitchen/living area had an all-glass wall that opened onto the backyard swimming pool. The master bedroom opened onto the pool as well, and the master bath opened onto another open garden area, making it seem like a spa. Absolutely gorgeous. It's the house that's been in my head as the perfect design for a house.
Late home today, just 'puting to relax from the long drive, but now I think I'll knit for a bit. Let's see... Picchu-Picchu? Market bag? Or turn the heel of the other sock?? Decisions, decisions!
