I had fabulous weather on Sunday September 11th to travel to NE Ohio for the Yarn Discovery Tour. Blue skies, cool breeze, sunny and 75 degrees! It was great seeing my friends from Studio Knit, and we managed to shop at 6 different shops and grab ice cream too! I even finished working on my red-cream striped sweater.

I was disappointed that I couldn’t make it to more stores, so I promised that I would continue shopping before the Yarn Discovery Tour ended on September 24! So, I managed to squeeze in more yarn shops after a court hearing yesterday. Thank goodness, I had an excuse to travel to northern Ohio!
Even though it was raining cats and dogs, I made it to a two more yarn shops, a new shop (The Artful Yarn) and a familiar shop (Fine Points.) I even had the chance to join some other knitting friends at a third shop (Ewes d’ Bleu) for an evening sit-n-knit. I decided that it was smart to wait for the rain to stop before traveling back to Columbus. Plus, I’m in a better mood after I knit!
Besides the psychological benefits of retail fiber therapy, I did not buy yarn for purely narcissistic reasons; I’ve been shopping with knitted Christmas presents in mind. I wonder if my family members can imagine what yarny goodies I have in store for them based upon the stash?
