Last Saturday was my niece's birthday. We made a day of it over in Seattle. We had lunch, went to the Pike Place Market, stopped in at Laurens (So Much Yarn), and had drinks. It was a good day.
If you are ever in Seattle, and go to the Pike Place Market, you have to stop into So Much Yarn. You're practically right there. It's a very fun area, and totally worth seeing. The flowers, the fresh fruits and vegetables, and let's not forget the flying fish. Then, you get a chance to go to Laurens and look at fabulous yarn. I did treat myself to a Namaste bag in Hollywood Pink - hooray for spring, I'm ready!
Lauren was busy teaching a beginning knitting class, and store has started receiving spring yarns. A new one for me was the Cascade Greenland, but she also had in some Cotton Classic and Cotton Classic Lite, Ty-Dy cotton and some Happy Feet.
Lauren's little dogs Angus and Fiona were there in rare form greeting us and keeping us company. They are the kindest little dogs, I've never heard them bark. All in all, the perfect day, ending up with a glass of wine over at Cutters. Please stop in at So Much Yarn for a visit some time soon this spring.
Scarf #5 is finished and I've moved on to scarf #6.
Fondly,
Mary*
