A Little Road Trip

Becky and I headed to Wytheville, Va. today to check out a new yarn shop that reopened in a new location. Becky has owned 2 yarn shops and both times she's had to relocate for her husband's career and leave them both behind. So, we are not your typical afternoon customers. We're hard to please...need inspiration...and dying to see something new. A yarn shop...pure potentiality.



Sadly, the shop had very little yarn, I had everything they had (x a zillion). Having my own LYS, which I never stop trying to figure out how to improve, having been a KFI rep for 3 years, my eye gets bored without fresh ideas. I also want the owner to be present and working in the shop. It makes a huge difference between a successful shop and one that limps along. I want selection, I want pattern ideas, I want a comfy sofa!





I did do a bit shopping (@ Woofville) and found Purl her own designer handbag (a chew toy) to match her Mommy's! I also got her a lovely coat with fleece lining to keep her warm during our chilly morning walks to the shop.
