trained well

my parents left this morning on a small roadtrip to oregon wine country. on the way they were stopping in my very favorite town of cannon beach (we went there on family vacations every year growing up!). i may have just mentioned to my dad a week or so ago that the yarn shop there happens to carry socks that rock. my crack yarn of choice at the moment. so i just got off the phone with my mom who was standing in the yarn shop listing all the colors (and asking the shop employee over and over what weight the yarn is (she wasn't hearing me when i said it was on the band)). i did good and only asked for 1 skein. i'll show you the color i picked when they get home :) i may have ordered a couple skeins last week from their website too. all this after buying several skeins at churchmouse over the last few months. i think i'll be content for awhile. and really it isn't that much yarn.

I've been to that yarn shop! They had so many different yarns by STR it made my head spin! Hope your family gives you the hook-up. Cannon Beach is so fab. :)

Sock yarn NEVER counts as stash. Repeat after me.

I am so impressed!. I don't think I could get my parent's into a yarn shop, ever. Ever. You're a lucky girl!

I love Cannon Beach! Last time I was in Oregon we went wine tasting. My favorite Oregon wine right now is Panther Creek.
