My Birthday and much more

Happy Birthday to me! This last Saturday was my 27th birthday. I had a great weekend away with all of my girlfriends. Last night my mom brought over my present, 11 knitting books and two gift certificate to my favorite local yarn shops! I will be glued to these books for the next few months.

I’m taking a quilting class at Crafty Planet! I love it! Here is a photo of what I have done so far. We’re making a baby blanket. I’ll post more photos as it takes shape.

MORE about my trip to northern California

Noe Knit!! is one of my new favorite yarn shops in San Francisco. This large yarn shop is in a quite neighborhood, and is a great place to find something special. I had already spent most of my yarn budget by the time I got there But, I picked up 3 balls of Dalegarn. I’m planning on making THIS with it.

This is the beautiful Art Yarns Silk Rhapsody I purchased at Art Fibers in Saratoga, California. I’m planning on using one of the lace patterns in Arctic Lace to make myself a scarf.

Ahh, Santa Cruz beach. My sisters and I went down to the beach for a afternoon. I love the ocean.
