Vacation outing!

My friend Becca and I took a trek out to Historic Salem Mass....
We visited a fellow knitter we met on our Rhinebeck trip. She works at a shop called the Seed Stitch Fine Yarn, and that it is!!!

Coming off Rhinebeck made it less tempting to buy MORE yarn but I did manage to pick up a skein of Blue Sky alpaca...it's a heather icy blue and sooo soft...
I am thinking of some fingerless mitts for Bert...

..and some Brittney cable needles...

It is a beautiful space with a wide range of, you guessed it, YARN...they have yarn for everyone and budget! They also carry little gift things too! Becca picked up a cute pair of scissors that look like a bunny and stand up...The ears are the blades and they put feet on the finger holes so they can stand on a surface...

Cool links part one...

Here are some things I got in Rhinebeck...



These are yarns from Briar Rose...left is Grandma's blessing and right limited edition 100% Alpaca...yummy stuff!

This is from Creative Dyed yarn.It was way in the back all by itself and I think the prettiest one there...it's pale lavender, blue and greens with a navy blue thread wrap...don't know the technical terms of spinning...

This is what I went to Rhinebeck for; introducing BABY ALPACA! It is brown with grey...I purchased this from Seaport Yarn. They carry tones of stuff!!! It was one of the first booths I encountered and I wanted to buy it all!!!!
