life with a chronic disease and a really big yarn stash
A Trip to the Yarn Store
You know, no matter how your week is going, things will get better if you head on over to visit your local yarn store. I met up with my knitting peeps last Wednesday, and here’s what happened.
You know I wore my new Antarktis Shawl. My friend Deb took a picture of me showing it off.There were sheep cookies!! You know these went home with me.I found some beads to use with the Random Act of Color that I am knitting. I plan on adding these babies to the purple edging at the bottom of the shawl. I’m still knitting like crazy on this shawl, but I don’t think I will get it done before the end of the Olympics tonight.And of course I found some yarn that I had to have. This will be a new cowl someday. 🙂 The yarn is Universal Yarns Bamboo Blooms Handpaint.
There was laughing, knitting, shopping and snacking. Projects were shown off and fellow knitters struck with envy and creative inspiration. Patterns were shared, yarn was bought and ordered. Plans were made to run wild during the upcoming Yarn Along the Rockies yarn crawl, and a good time was had by all.
It is good to have a local yarn store and knitting peeps.
I weave, knit and read in Aurora, Colorado where my garden lives. I have 2 sons, a knitting daughter-in-law, a grandson and two exceptionally spoiled kittens. In 2014 I was diagnosed with a serious rare autoimmune disease called systemic sclerosis along with Sjogren's Disease and fibromyalgia.

The cookies…I want some. So cute. Great job on your shawl. I think I’m glad to live further away from a yarn store. Helps regulate me.
They are good cookies! I know what you mean about not living too close to a yarn store; unfortunately, I have discovered that the internet delivers yarn right to the door!
