Tour Damage and more

Friday, I visited a couple of my LYS's as part of the local LYS Tour. I have to say I am pretty proud of the unintentional bargin shopping I did.

First stop was The Knittery in Renton. I found 2 skeins of Lorna's Laces- Pioneer and Lakeview- so I could join the Chevron Scarf bandwagon. Love it!

Next stop was Renaissance Yarns in Kent. I bought all of this and actually saved more than I spent. The Duet yarn was 10% off. The random Lorna's black skein was "damaged" and was 90% off and the other four were 60% off. That plus I got an extra 10% for being a frequent shopper.



The four Ella Rae yarns are going to be pillows for our newly painted family room...


See, it does need some color. Nothing but browns here.


We also painted the kitchen this weekend and I am so in love with it. Excuse the general mess but I find myself looking over there just to admire the color. Kind of like yarn, I guess.

  • Love the colors in your Chevron scarf! Awesome yarn score too!

    Those colors for the pillows will look really good in there. Nice kitchen and color too! :)

  • Nice haul!

    The color of your kitchen wall is beautiful. I love bold, bright colors on walls.
