so purr-dy





Went to see the inlaws this past weekend for Father's Day, but I managed to get a little yarn hunting in between Cubs games and dinners (inlaws live in the greater Chicago area.)



Seattle has quite a few yarn shops herself, and I usually see most yarn brands within a 30-mile-radius of where I live, but Gene Ann's in Barrington, IL had The Fibre Co.'s "Road to China."



I am in love with The Fibre Co.'s yarns. I'm telling you their yarns are so luscious you just want to make out with them.



Granted I don't get out much, but I've managed to see this yarn brand in Portland (at Lint) where I bought "Terra" and now Gene Ann's, which had the lovely "Road to China" and "Khorma".









I mean, look at it knit up, and listen to the fiber content: alpaca, cashmere, camel, yak and soy. That's crazy talk.



If you every lay your hands on this stuff, you won't want to give it up.






Okay, I'll stop with the yarn gushing.

On another note, I just wanted to say thanks to all you great knitters who've taken the time to read my ramblings. I was so amazed when I saw all the welcoming comments when I came back from my vacation. You guys rock!
