LYS in Portland

The last week in November I'm headed to Long Beach, then to San Francisco, then the first week in December, I am on to Portland. Just looked up yarn shops in Portland, and look what came up

Red Sox and Knitting

So I got to be at home for the last three innings of the fourth game of the World Series. And while I am not ordinarily a Red Sox fan, (Rangers fan by proxy,) I am really happy that an American League team won. And perhaps more importantly, the team that has Eric Gagne as a pitcher. :)

Anyway, I was able to make some good progress on Sateen's Crocodile scarf during the last three innings. I sent off my Secret Pal pressie, so I hope she receives it soon.

Prairie Sadness

I have come to the world of Brown Sheep's Prairie Silk too late. They are going to stop manufacturing the lovely yarn because silk is very expensive right now. The colors are so rich. And it is really soft - soft enough to wear against your skin. I'm tempted to grab up as much as I can before it disappears. I am thinking perhaps woven scarves and knit caps for Christmas gifts. But it takes four to six skeins for a scarf and at least three for a hat.

In other news, I am so loving the new Radiohead. Once again, a fine release from one of my all time favorite bands.

And I was asked today to write a review for the new Nick Drake boxed set. I'm quite honored really. I'll link it when it's published.
