We've Been Yarning!

I think that Debbie and I have developed a new sport!  It's the act of visiting yarn stores wherever we go, shopping, and then petting our beautiful new yarn that may or may not have a purpose planned for it!

The first picture shows my choices to take home with me.  And most of this does have a project in mind.  
We visited Stash-A Place For Yarn, Fiber Art Gallery and A Good Yarn.  We did manage to find something to buy at each store, but our favorite was A Good Yarn in Sarasota.  On my personal rating system, the highest rating is "I would go out of my way to return".  That's what A Good Yarn earned!  After that, the rating system ends!

The photo above shows the results of Debbie's shopping.  As you can see, she is a much better shopper than I am!  Both of us mostly buy by color, whatever is pleasing.  It's always fun to see what we find!  I think we need to schedule some knitting dates in the near future!

Here is the knitting that has been done so far-- I had started the Shift back at home, and continued with it on vacation.  The shape might look odd, and I agree it looks odd!  But it does end up with a seam in the center back of the cowl scarf, and a downwards point in the front, like a cowboy bandana.  The pink yarn on the right is Debbie's, with the start of a baby hat.  A very soft and sweet color.

Now, if you ever feel like you want to go yarning with someone, give us notice so we can help!
