North Carolina Trip



Had a mini get together the first week of June. Drove up to North Carolina on May 31 to visit with Nancy (Mouse). Steph and our dog Chibbie also joined us. Arrived mid afternoon on Wed. and spent the rest of the day knitting and chatting. Thursday we went to visit one of the LYS and bought some yarn. I bought some Cascade 220 in a blue for a pair of felted slippers and a nylon ribbon type yarn for a tie, both for Christmas presents. Steph found some yarn to a scarf for a friend that just moved away and a cord type yarn that she made a necklace with. Friday Nancy showed both Steph and me how to knit socks on 2 circulars.
We were expecting Patti to join us but turned out she wasn't able to come up until Sat. morning. Saturday afternoon Patti , Steph and I went to 2 more yarn stores. In the first store I bought some Cascade Fixation and a set of 2 Addi circulars to use with the yarn. In the second store Steph found some yarn she like for a possible shawl.
For the rest of the weekend we sat, talked, knit and shared patterns for the rest of the day. Sunday we visited for a little more before leaving to return home. We all had such a good time we are already talking about getting together again.
