When The Cat's Away

This time, she goes to San Francisco! And, of course, no visit to this City by the Bay would be complete without a peek into the magic that is Art Fibers.

And who did I meet in that unique fiber mecca but Ms. Yarn-A-Go-Go herself, Rachel who just happened to be in the neighborhood with Jon, who's visiting from Nueva York. We were spelunking in the Annex for bargains, and they were there to be had for the diligent.

Meanwhile, my friend M sat patiently while we gabbed and shopped. Although M is not a knitter, she was amused by Jon's analysis of how a particularly beautiful lace scarf pattern was probably created. And because she is such a good and patient person (and her birthday had just passed), I gifted her with the goodness of baby alpaca. She agreed to model it, but only if I cropped the photo. So be it, M.
