If my plans go well, I’ll be walking here tomorrow. It’s time for some spring. Mother Nature has her plans. I’ve got mine. Though I’m quite sure she knows what she’s doing; this year, she’s taken her time (10" inches this week on top of the now melting 3+ft). While the north still has a white blanket, I’ve headed south. I’ve seen robins and heard peepers, sure signs of spring. Now for the long drive. I want flowers.
In preparation, I went through my briefcase checking to see what was in my inventory of just in case patterns. Shocking, I could go for years. Here’s the short list:
Maine Morning Mitts, Ice Queen, Gust, Oh! Canada, an Old Shale shawl, A Judy Pascal shawl, That Little Scarf, Crest of the Wave, Chill Out Hybrid Shawl, Taconic V-Neck, a catnip mouse pattern, Dayflower Lace Scarf, Rainy Day scarf, Hypoteneuse Shawl, A Kim Hargreaves lace cardigan, Birch, .. it goes on. I’m packing yarn and beads for Muir and the Ember socks, one extra skein of sock yarn (I don’t know what I’m thinking, but I NEED to be prepared), two spindles and some really nice fiber. That’s it. All those patterns… they get filed for the time being. I need to lighten my load.
Anyone know a good yarn shop in the Outer Banks?

Enjoy the warmth and have fun!
Have a wonderful time! That briefcase is FULL.
For a yarn shop recommendation in the Corolla, Kitty Hawk, Nags Head area contact Chan at http://chanknits.wordpress.com I think it’s somewhere around Nags Head but I can’t remember where or the name of the shop, but Chan raves over it. She visits it every time she stays at her aunt’s beach cottage and will often wait to buy items she wants until she makes her next trip there. Says the owner gives great customer service.
Enjoy your trip to spring !
Enjoy soaking up some sun and warming your frozen bones. I can see you sinking your bare feet in the sand! Sniff a few flowers for me.
Have a great time! Hope you see lots of beautiful flowers!
Have a great time! You’re going to be away for how many months? 😉
Have a wonderful trip!
I hope the weather was all you were desiring in the Outer Banks. I’ve always wanted to go there (where haven’t I wanted to visit?)
Did you do much knitting? Or was the ocean too enticing to your toes? 🙂
