I love my SnB group

Ok, I confess, I got tired of the heat and decided I needed to cool off a bit so I took a little drive to The Black Sheep in Encinitas and the beach of course. So what came home with me, some Reglia Bamboo sock yarn and 2 cones of Habu Textiles Wool Stainless Steel. It really is 75% wool and 25% stainless steel, it's lace weight, but curiosity got the better of me.

I love my SnB group, AKA my weekly therapy session. I showed up today and there was cake and presents. Someone said surprise and I think I asked what's the occasion...LOL. The occasion is my going away, even though I don't have a move date yet, I will be heading up to Seattle, sans DH, for 2-3 weeks, then it's just a matter of time until the house is sold and we move to Seattle for good. We had cake with our weekly knitting goodness.

They gave me presents....me....presents....*sniff* These are some of the sweetest ladies I know. They gave me a $60 GC to Little Knits, which also happens to live in Seattle, I know, I've been there it's an adorable little store. I'll have to take pics to share when I go there in a week or 2.

Back to the presents: A bag that was hand painted by our Joan, 3 candles also pianted by Joan, some stitch markers hand made by Joan...(I'm noticing a theme here), another candle and

some note paper.

And there was the basked, full of coffee, teas, hot cocoa, a glass, a margarit glass, a coffee mug and some ice cream toppings.

More yarny goodness:

3 skeins of Lorna's Laces Sock yarn for less that $6. I know such a steal, well it's not as good as all that I did manage to fill a card on my last vist to Unwind so that was $30 saved right there.

and last but certainly not least, some Blue Sky Aplaca - Aplaca Silk in amethyst.

Wow that's a lot of blog for one day. It's hot and I'm worn out.... back to the knitting.
