what a day!

Saturday was a fabulously beautiful, sunny day. Shoppers, aka my dear knitting friends, came bright and early, and picked out their favorites.


Leah, on the right, was in charge of the Periwinkle Sheep yarns up on our little deck. Hey Jody, watcha got there?


Jody was in charge of the cash out for the Yarn Yard Sale. Thank you to all my wonderful helpers!! I couldn't have done this without you!

Shelly drove all the way from Gloucester, MA, to come to the sale! I know her from my ravelry group Stash Knit Down.

The irony is not lost on me that someone is on a Stash reduction rav group and then drives 3.5 hours to go to a stash sale. But you all know how it is: some days, you just need to get in the car and go for a drive! That's what Shelly did, and she even hand delivered a blanket square for an afghan that our group is putting together for one of our members.

Leah and Amy winding yarn straight from one of the bins.

My smallest visitor needed a cheerios break. :)

Thank you thank you everyone that came to my sale. I hope you are all happy with your purchases - let me know what you are going to make! I am just so glad that all that yarn went to good homes. I feel so much lighter now!

The whole thing kind of wiped me out - the week of sorting and bagging, and not getting much sleep the night before from all the anticipation. I took a two hour nap after clearing away the bins. Out of 13, I only had 5 left with yarn in them!

Later in the afternoon, Dear Husband and I went to Washington Park to see the tulips in bloom, and to go have some dinner. I post tulip pictures every year, so if you're getting tired of it, now's the time to go read another blog. ;)

This group of pansies snuck in. "We're here to see the tulips!"

Walk back through the park after dinner at one of our favorite Indian restaurants.
