Since they knew we were headed back to MN, my sister and brother-in-law gave me a birthday gift certificate to another new yarn store that had opened in Minneapolis during our stay in Albuquerque. (This place is fiber heaven!) Rather than spending it right away online, I decided to exercise some rare restraint and wait a few months so I could visit in person… As luck would have it, I traveled to Mpls a few weeks later for an interview (for the job I got, yay! đŸ˜‰ and visited Bella Lana over Memorial Day weekend.
Being the total geek that I am, I traveled with the last skein I planned to purchased in NM and the goal of buying a complementary skein in MN to create a symbolic transition knit. Yep, total geek! Here’s my “Two-State Scalene,” which I love for more than just the silly sentimental reasons.

I took a break from blogging and blog-reading this summer and look what happens! So many new and exciting things were going on in my internet friends lives! Congratulations on your move–it all sounds wonderful!
OMG–the colors in that unisono are stunning!!! And Izzy looks so grown-up.
