Early April in Northern California

I headed south to Los Gatos, California for a short vacation recently. The weather here in the Midwest has been enough to drive the toughest of Minnesotan crazy. I had plans to build new yarn rack displays and relax. Here's what I did!

We went to the Farmers Market on Sunday. It was an over cast day but I still enjoyed the outing. This is a photo of a vendor selling artisan breads. 

Here are a bunch of beautiful vegetables! 

Here is my Dad's wood shop. We built a great yarn rack and are planning on building many more.

I always have to visit a yarn shop when I travel. This time I headed to Yarn Dogs. It's a great shop in Los Gatos by the high school. They have a great variety of yarn and a very nice staff. I will definitely be going back. 

Shop Update!

Pin Cushion

I have been doing a little bit of sewing. When I should really be spinning yarn for my next 3 craft fairs. Ahh the art of distraction. I made this cute little pin cushion from Last Minute Patchwork + Quilted Gifts by Joelle Hoverson. It turned out great, but 2.5 hours for a pin cushion! I am a beginning sewer so maybe it was me.

I purchased this great fabric at Crafty Planet!

Sock Monkey Rag Quilt

I have been doing a little sewing lately. I was inspired to make this rag quilt for my niece by the Knit and Tonic blog. This was a quick blanket project and it turns out great! I bought most of the flannel at Treadle Yard Goods in St. Paul, Mn.

Striped Noro Scarf

I haven't knit a scarf since my novelty eyelash days ended many years ago. This scarf is like no other! I'm using two different color ways and I absolutely love how its turning out. 

Brooklyn Tweed is the force behind my inspiration. If you haven't checked out his blog, you've been missing out.

Lexi Boeger's second book is now available! The book features a skein of my yarn on page 289. I'm thrilled to be a part of this book/revolution!
