agoodyarn_01.gifPlan a trip to A Good Yarn in Prescott for June 7th, 2008 and meet Debbie Macomber. Pick up your Twenty Wishes book and while you’re here explore all the fine yarns and notions!

If you live in the area, mark your calendar now to stop by Debra’s shop on June 7th.

… which reminds me, I currently have on my needles a cute pair of socks (seen above right) made from Elsebeth Lavold’s Hempathy Designer’s choice (34% hemp, 41% cotton, 25% modal) and a great summer tank top made with Cascade Pearls (no picture of that yet).

Recently completed are some red socks for cheering on my UA Wildcats, made from a purchase made at Kiwi Yarn Company in Tucson: Meilenweit Cotton (41% cotton, 39% superwash wool, 13% Pllyamide, 7% Elite - whatever that is). These were actually finished at the ballpark, and then put on for good luck. So far, they work well!

    Wabisabime,

    I’ve been going to Kiwi Yarn Company (right name??) a lot, on 6th Street and Tucson Blvd. That’s where I picked up the Hempathy. I love their inventory and the layout of their shop just appeals to me.

    Last weekend I also checked out Purls on Broadway. They had a very friendly atmosphere and lots of nice women in there knitting and chatting away. I picked up some fantastic new stuff in there which I am mentally processing right now.

    You sure travel a lot!! If you do head to Precott, stop at A Good Yarn and tell the owner, Deb, how far you came to find her!
