Wish I could say we spent a lot of money, but the holidays sucked the life out of my budget (I can't speak for C). In any event, I did buy this beautiful "Puddle" Bumblebirch yarn. It is earmarked for a classy shawl, though I have no idea what pattern -- just yet. I love that it will go with denim.
You guys have a WONDERFUL time on your January KAL. I'm envious, but have too many pans in the fire. I'll drop by periodically so I can ooh and ah your many creations.
Looks delightful! I must go there someday. Btw, you have a package coming soon ;)
ReplyDeleteyou are sweet, Kelly ~ I just gave Penny a 'package' last month, too
Deletethe two of us will make sure Penny keeps the world in nice warm hats :)
When am I going to learn to add a reply under the right section of the comments? I'll get it. Thank you so much Kelly. I will try to do it justice. :)
DeleteYou're so welcome!
Deleteyou two best friends ~ what a blast! even the gal in the background looks like she enjoyed your visit! did you love Tolt??? :)
ReplyDeleteI love Bumblebirch yarns ~ I'm glad you two had such a fun outing ~ can't wait to see your finished Streusel's!!!
Sheldon -- you steered us in the right direction. We had lunch on the way home. It was the perfect outing. P3
Deletevery good ;)
Deletethe only thing that could have made it better was if I was there, too, right ~ hehe!
Well of course -- you would have made it even better! We didn't take the time to stop and knit, as you suggested. There was one woman sitting in a chair in front near the books, knitting, and two others in another area -- gabbing and having fun. Tolt had an eclectic selection of yarn/colors. Lighting was good. Lamps are such a nice touch -- like home. :)
Deleteagree ~ very homey feeling
DeleteKelly -- you are awesome! Thank you, thank you!
ReplyDeleteYes, Mel, we did like TOLT. I have since edited this post, as in added the link and a few complimentary comments. I looked on my receipt and Rachel is the person who helped us. She remembered you! We will for sure go back.
I thought that was Rachel but I don't remember her having glasses on when we were there. She was wonderful...they were all so nice.
DeleteNot fair! I haven't made it there yet. Just kidding - glad you had a great time. I'll be waiting to see what the new yarn knits up to, Penny!
ReplyDeleteThnx Andrea. So many choices. I want to do something I haven't knitted before. I love denim, so this will probably be worn more than other shawls. Tomorrow C and I are going to block her Streusel. Mine is almost finished! Woohoo! I will feel liberated. I am not good at multiple WIP's. :)
DeleteSounds like we need to have a flock gathering at Tolt one of these days!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!
Deleteagree ~ we'll work something out!
DeletePenny and Carolyn~ what a blast it seems you had...that rich blue yarn is breathtaking and the project bag, so sweet. Thanks for the peek into your trip!
ReplyDeleteHappy Knits Year!
We sure do have fun, Kelli! I wish she would quit work so we could have even more, but she needs money -- go figure. Maybe we should adopt Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid's pastime? Oh wait, they were killed, right? We better stick with gainful employment, except I'm retired. Sometimes I help in her 3rd Grade Class, so we do have fun at her work -- I'll take anything I can get. Enjoy your KAL. If I can get my act together I will join the next one. :)
Deleteyou should see the two of them together, Kelli ~ they act like a couple of teenagers ;)
