I got to spend one glorious morning at k1 yarns, Glasgow's lovely yarn shop! and bought some lovely souvenir yarn!
A sweater's worth of yarn spun at the New Lanark mill...not too far from Glasgow! It is a wool/silk blend, a nice aran tweed! Yum!
And a little more in a different color...Mom this just screamed you! How could I not buy it?
Some lovely lace weight!
and of course some sock yarn!
They also gave me a nice bag to hold my projects! Now my advisor also found me a knitting group to attend while I was in Glasgow! Well other people connected to the math department attend, so the group kind of found her! It was a nice evening to relax, sip some tea, eat a savory scone, and knit with new friends!
How cool is all that! I'm looking foward to seeing everything in its finished forms.
ReplyDeleteLocally spun yarn is a wonderful souvenir!
ReplyDeleteTweed has just been looking so good to me lately.
ReplyDeleteHow fun to visit Glasgow's LYS and find the new right alongside the familiar!
ReplyDeleteFANTASTIC!!! I highly doubt it can get better that this.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a blissful visit. I'd love to go to K1 yarns - I've often admired their website!
