Tomorrow I have to get up at the ass crack of dawn to get on my 7AM flight to Minnesota. I’m super excited (and a little sad that the Mr isn’t coming), I have roughly 9 differernt yarn stores to visit, family to see, and my dad to run ragged as I drag him all over the Twin Cities.
You may want to note, I am not one of those “relax and kick up your feet” people on vacation. I think those people waste their time off work. If I’m going on vacation I want to cram in as much “fun” as I can.
I’m definitely going to hit up Uncle Hugos Books and hopefully once again come back with a suite case full of used fantasy novels. If you’ve never been to this book store I’m sad for you, there is nothing here that would make Oprah’s Book Club, but only becase it’s filled with 1 million times more awesome than anything she would pick.
I hope to come back with at least one memory card full of pictures, 7 books, and an armfull of new lovely yarns to knit. I’m going to try to keep it to sock yarn. Wish me luck!
Oh & Herman is coming, he may need a scarf!
I have one finished knit to show before I pack up and head out.
No so Wispy
Pattern: Wisp
Yarn: Jitterbug 1.5 Skeins
Needle: US 4
Pretty darn happy with this knit, though I don’t have a whole lot to say about it.
P – have a great time in the homeland! Say ah yup to Mpls for me. If you are anywhere near Dinky Town there’s a store that I think is still there. . .they sold beads, futons, yarn, plants, beaded curtains, incense, cards, and various trinkets from around the world, etc. I cannot for the life of me think of the name right now but if you know it and IF you are there take a picture of it for me. That’s all. Thanks!
ginny
I like a little of both. Have fun be safe!
I am proudly in the “Relax and Kick Your Feet Up” camp. I found that too much running around left me wanting a vacation from the vacation. Yet, it does mean that I miss out on stuff that the more adventageous will do and see. So, have a blast! Don’t forget to take pictures.
Uh – that store is on the West Bank and it’s called Depth of Field. I guess I need a trip home too. . .
