This morning we took off in a different direction than our regular morning routes and about mid way Joe said: Do you need something from the grocery store, we are close enough to include it in this walk. So we did it. The second BAT/KAT trip this week, aren’t we good?

Now he is talking about walking to Sprouts, poor me! The Fry’s/Safeway junction we went to this morning is about 1.5 miles from home, Sprouts is about 3.5 according to Google Maps but we can make it shorter walking, we guess about 3.0 miles or so,,, in nice weather it is not too hard but they promise 3 digit temps here pretty soon, we will see.

After swatching the colorful yarn I showed here the other day, I think it is too fat for a small baby when knitted in garter stitch. This made me visit my stash. I found nice things. I think I will try a Mountain Colors Bearfoot yarn I found there. I bought 2 skeins in preparation to knit my first sock ever and the lady in the lovely shop Windsor Button, told me that maybe I should take 2 skeins to be on the safe side. I finished the socks with a little leftover from the first skein. I am not sure I have enough yarn though, I will know better when I finish the first BSJ soon.

I saw in my stash some lovely sock yarns, I will need to knit those soon. I saw a sweater worth of cotton that I intended to knit last summer. I found some lovely cotton that want to be knitted into something summery – who said the only place we can have fun with yarn are yarn stores or the internet?

Oh and about this Boston wonder – I stumbled upon it by accident walking in Boston while we went with Sam to a college tour in the Northeast in March 2006, so I can’t really tell you what I saw there. The only thing I remember is wondering between shelves full of yarns and finding more and more wonderful corners full of fiberly delights, just what a good yarnoholic looks for in a yarn store in a new city.
