Common Threads Knit Shop

Hello!!

Isn't that view up there lovely??  That's what we seen while driving along the 101 going back to Carlsbad.  I could get use to that pretty easily!! 

This day I got to go to both The Black Sheep and Common Threads.  I was on the hunt for some Tahki Cotton Classic to add to the skeins I got from Elly and Susan in the Itty-Bitty swaps so that I can make a blanket for my bed.  I had a pattern already in mind so I knew the colours that I wanted.  It was a lot of fun to go searching for the right ones! 

First I went to Common Threads.  It was a cute little shop full of lots and lots of yarn! 


You could even sit and knit in the sun if you'd like! 



Here's the little friend I was talking about yesterday!!  This is Cocoa having an early morning nap.



I didn't find all the colours I needed here (even with all that yarn!), so I went back to The Black Sheep for the rest.  I headed back to the Inn with a bag full of gorgeous GORGEOUS yarn!!  What a happy day I had!!

I've already started my blanket (and am so excited to show you!), but I have a few more posts to catch you all up on what I've been up to these last couple of weeks. 

See you tomorrow!!

The Black Sheep Yarn Shop

Hello!!

I am SO SORRY for not blogging in over two weeks!!  I have been wanting to, but I was so busy that I just didn't have time to sit down and actually write a post.  Our Pancake House closed for the season on Monday.  I had a great time waitressing and baking this year....it was such an awesome experience!!  I already miss the people I worked with!  However, now I should have more time for blogging and doing a little more creating :)

Anyhoo....I thought I'd do a little back-tracking here.  I have a few more posts from our trip to California that I'd like to share with you all if you don't mind???  Today's is about The Black Sheep yarn shop that I went to.  My lovely Mother took some snapshots while I did my shopping.....

I thought these baskets were so cute!! 

This store was chock-a-block FULL of yarn!!  I had a hard time figuring out what to look at first!!  I actually got to go here twice.  The first time I picked up some gift yarn and the second time I came back for some more colours of Tahki Cotton Classic for my soon-to-be blanket.  The staff was very friendly and helpful and the shop was just beautiful......I could spend hours here.  I would definitely go back again!

Tomorrow I will take to you the other yarn shop I visited.....I met a lovely little friend there that I can't wait to show you! 

Ta ta for now!!
