More Yarn!

Saturday, the 17th was the first day of Rhinebeck. I really didn't think I'd be able to go so I was sulking around the house. Glenn suggested I get out to a yarn shop to cheer me up and cheer me up it did. I couldn't grab my bag and wallet quick enough. He was going to Brooklyn, so he dropped me and Patrick off down in the Financial District by Seaport Yarns. We get there and Andrea, the owner, was of course up at Rhinebeck but her lovely assistant, Lauren, helped us out. She said she had a yarn that was dyed especially for them for Rhinebeck. It was really pretty, rusty colors and a little dusky purple thrown in too. I told Patrick to look around to see if he liked anything and he found a fun Jitterbug yarn. Here they are:



The yarns were adorable and I can't wait to knit them up. I was lucky enough, as you know, to be able to go to Rhinebeck the next day and buy more yarn. I have a very patient, loving, generous and kind husband don't I? He puts up with my crap and that should tell you A LOT!
Today Al & I are going to a new LYS here in Manhattan, Gotham Yarns. It's down on the lower east side in one of my favorite neighborhoods. So it's lunch at Katz's then knitting with friends. Who could ask for more? If you're in the area, stop in. We'll be the loud ones.
