A Winter Wonderland

Went to Webs with the family this weekend. It was a funny experience. The Boyfriend followed me around with the shopping basket catching the yarn as I threw it at him and raced through the store to get everything on my list before they closed. The cousins were in pursuit shooting questions about yarn at me. Yardage? What’s soft? Care instructions? I barked answers running up and down the warehouse isles. I’m sure the four of us were an entertaining site. I got everything on my list and two new project bags. I was astounded to see Di’ve Zenith in about 800 colors for $4 a skein. It's a 100% merino worsted yarn that knits like butter. It was all I could do not to buy another two sweaters worth (yes I already have two sweaters worth of it).

After the whirl-wind Webs trip we walked the downtown of Northampton doing some fun shopping and having great Italian for dinner. The rain didn’t dampen our spirits although the icy roads and sidewalks did slow us down. It was a merry adventure I won’t soon forget.
