Raggaknits

On Sunday I took a class at my LYS, Conversational Threads,

with Icelandic knitter Ragga from Raggaknits.

My dear yarn buddy Jenn and I had both started our days out

stressed and rushed only to leave the session very relaxed and very happy.

If you ever get a chance to meet Ragga, run don't walk!

She is smart, funny and such a genuinely nice woman

with a wild imagination…a fearless Viking knitter!

Although the last photo is blurry it's my favorite.

She taught me a lot about knitting but even more about just letting go.

Time to renew my passport and start saving up my pennies,

her next Icelandic knitting tour is in 2015 and we're going!

Thanks so much to Cindy for scheduling the classes at her amazing yarn shop,

to Jenn for taking the afternoon off to attend the class with me

and to Ragga for her spirit and smile.

Sunday - Conversational Threads

It feels like summer today.

The sky is a smalty humid blue and the temperature is at 90F.

I took a ride over to my favorite yarn store today, Conversational Threads.

The owner, Cindy, is expanding and I had to get a look at the new layout.

The store has more than doubled in size and is just beautiful!

A warm and inviting atmosphere with a lovely and helpful owner

and loads of wonderful yarn.

Of course, I went in to pick up some more #2 DP's 

and could not resist the the yummy pink merino blend.

Good luck with the new shop Cindy. 

(Sorry I didn't post more photos; I was home before I realized

my camera lens was filthy!  More next time.)
