The Yarn Garden

Today I went to Gig Harbor to celebrate Mother's Day with my mom a day early. I got down there a little early so that I could check out The Yarn Garden. I bought a yarn swift which I have been wanting for ages and a skein of lace weight yarn. It is called Cashwool by Zegna Baruffa, which is made in Italy. 1,460 yards for $14 in the color denim. It is 100% Merino wool and is beautiful. I plan on knitting an Evelyn Clark shawl with it, which one I don't know yet.

I met my sister, mom and grandmother for lunch and then we all had pedicures. My grandmother is 92 and this was the first pedicure she has ever had. I guess you are never too old to try new things. The weather was wonderful and the harbor was beautiful. All in all it was a great day.
