Yarn Traveler

I don’t know how anyone can be expected to spend an afternoon on the computer when the weather is so nice, they just got their super hot bike back from the shop, and a brand new iPhone in their hot little hands. Okay so maybe the iPhone is the biggest reason I am at the computer today. There’s music to add, calendars to sync…

In the meantime, it seems like a good opportuity to update the ol’ blog with the latest and greatest. And, by latest and greatest I mean Twisted. Twisted is the newest yarn store in Portland, and my new favorite. Truly a yarn store to call my very own LYS.

The shop is beautiful and comfortable, the selection is varied and extensive, and it’s run by two wonderfully friendly ladies, Shannon and Emily. As if that wasn’t enough to pique your interest, they have agreed to let me sell my little homemade project bags in their shop.

Right now I have a medium project bag (just the perfect size to carry around a sock-in-progress) and a small bag that I like to use for notions and other random tools in my larger knitting bag at home. They are all made out of oilcloth or poly-coated cloth to make them weather/coffee/spill resistant and easy to clean. They come in a variety of colors and patterns, but so far, everyone’s favorite is the sock monkey.

(By the way, these photos were taken with the camera on my new iPhone. Not bad for phone-camera photos!)

In other news, boyfriend Matt and his partner Jason have been working fast and furiously on Level 2 of Unthirsty. I have been assured that as soon that launches, my “Super Secret Project” is next in line, and its gonna be good one! More info soon I promise!
