trip to the beach
i often think about how lucky i am to live in the pacific northwest. we have mountains, lakes, beautiful trees and the pacific ocean at our doorstep. i love the ocean. nothing makes me feel more at peace than hearing the waves crashing. this last weekend i got to spend time at the beach with my best girl friends.
this was our beach cottage for the weekend. it was adorable and had a beautiful view.
the time went much too fast for me and so now i am hoping to find some more time this summer to get out to the beach. it isn't too far of a drive (about 3 hours or so). of course i live about 5 minutes from lake washington and 15 minutes from the puget sound so i am always able to see some water whenever i want. i love it.
what would be a trip without finding the local yarn shop? i was pleasantly surprised at the selection and came home with some treats!
new sugar and cream colors. destined to be dishcloths of course!
you saw me knit backyard leaves with this yarn in a baby blue but i couldn't resist this amazing green. this yarn is one of my top five favs.
i finally found some trekking in the brighter colorways. i won't be joining the knit along, but plan on casting on soon.
so that was my weekend! i came home a bit tired but have been working hard on some stitch markers. before i left town i sold out of all my inventory! i am SO not complaining :)
happy 4th. i am headed over to my friends for a get together and fantastic view of the big seattle fireworks show.

Congratulations on how well your stitch markers are doing! I can't say I'm surprised, they're so cute.
Sounds like you had a wonderful weekend and I can totally relate with how fast it went by!
What a beautiful place to spend a weekend.
I didn't know sugar and cream had some new colorways? I'll have to keep an eye out.
I bought two of those Sugar & Cream colors this weekend too! The brown has been paired with a sage green (solid) to form a turtle-ish looking dishcloth.
I just couldn't resist the pink/orange/yellow combo. Now I just have to figure out what to do with it.
Wow - that trekking colourway is LUSH - maybe another swap is in order (don't groan) - Just jokes.
Sounds like a really fun and relaxing weekend! I live in a city on a big lake too (Lake Erie), but there's something different and special about the ocean. :)
Sounds like a lovely long weekend - that has got to be the cutest cottage ever!
Looks like you had a wonderful weekend! I also love living close to the ocean. It's wonderful knowing that I can have my toes in the sand just a short drive from home.
that's great that you were able to spend time at the beach and with girlfriends. Always a special treat. Love all the yarn you've purchased too. I have trekking in the same colorway too.
Love the cottage! Is it a rental? Could you send me info? I could almost stand a 7 hour drive for a beach side cottage like that!
Well, it looks like the most perfect get-away...and I'm going to Walmart to get some Sugar and Cream.
Wow- what a great cottage! - it looks like the stuff of movies!
I knit a pair of Jaywalkers out of that Trekking colorway - ck my April 20th post if you want to see them knitted up - I still can't decide if they're fantastic, or ugly!
I have been needing to get away for a while now. I took some time and let those beautiful pics of yours take me away. I tried to imagine myself in those settings, which made me feel good. I really need a vacation!
The new yarn is gorgeous! I can't wait to see what you end up doing with all of it! :)
sounds like a super fantastic trip!!! Great pictures...makes me want to head to the beach.
OH! Can you please, please, please tell me where you stayed at? I'm trying to find someplace for a girls knitting getaway & this would be perfect!!!
you can find the info for the cottages at http://www.blackwoodbeachcottages.com :)
I did some socks out of the same colorway. I loved it in the ball, i hated it knit up. they just aren't MY type. :) i hope you like them! hehee. i ended up giving them to my friend after i was finished. I posted pics if you want to check them out on my blog:
