So, I didn't finish my scarf, but that is alright since I won't be wearing it for several months anyway. I don't have much down time, so there is probably better use of the little free time I do have. It will mainly be something I can do when I am wanting to relax in front of the TV.
Mom wanted me to tell the story of how I got the yarn:
Over Memorial Day Weekend we went up to Montana for Craig to go fishing with his Grandpa. They went out on Saturday and Kara (my mother-in-law) and I went on a "honey run." There is this wildflower honey she bought last year from a tiny shop in a tiny town that isn't crystallized even a year later. She wanted to get some for her mother's birthday, so we went to Beaverslide Dry Goods in Dupuyer, MT. It's so small that there isn't even a Wikipedia page I can link to. This store is pretty small and it serves as a consignment shop, convenience store, and yarn shop. I believe the owners of the store are the ones who supply the wool for the yarn. Someone else in town makes the honey. Anyways, the yarn looked so beautiful and I loved the colors, so I bought a spool and some knitting needles and for several hours over the trip.
My New Goal: Cook two meals this week that don't involve pasta. I bought ingredients for hamburgers last night and we are thawing out the trout Craig and I caught in MT to cook tonight on the grill with corn.




The image of that yarn pulls me in. I could even take up knitting if that shop were around. Did you say it's actually wool?
ReplyDeleteGood goal. Success!
