New LYS!
On Thursday Pete had to fly to LA for the day (isn't that ridiculous?!?) I knew that Maddie and I would go crazy if we were cooped up with each other all day, and night, long. So I decided to check out a new yarn shop that I heard about last weekend. The store is called Stitch & Hook and is located only about 5 minutes from my house! I was shocked to hear that it opened last October and I had never heard of it.
I spoke with the shop owner for quite a while while Maddie rocked in the rockers (they have a whole group of them at the back of the store!) and ate a cookie which the owner gave to her. It is a nice little shop and I'm happy to say that they carry Cascade 220. Goodness knows that I didn't need any, but I am all about supporting a new local yarn shop, so I bought a few skeins. She carries quite a bit from Cascade, some flashy stuff from Trendsetter, a nice selection of baby yarns and even some sock yarn. I know that she had a lot more there, but I was so busy chatting with her that I didn't look around as much as I should have. After a bit, Maddie started to get restless and hungry, so we were off. I will be back though!

Julie somehow failed to say "Pete had to fly to LA for the day...and boy, are his arms tired!"
