My daughter and I went on a wee little “yarn shop hop” this past week. She realized I would be working during our actual yarn crawl but she still wanted to do something like it, so we did our own version during her spring break. (She’s a music teacher). We decided to visit beautiful Whidbey Island and spent a night in a tiny house. We visited Bazaar Girls yarn shop in Port Townsend, and Skein & Tipple on Whidbey island. There was one more yarn shop we hoped to visit, but it was closed for spring break. Skein & Tipple is a combination nightclub/yarn shop and we found out the nightclub was having knit night while we were there! We had so much fun on our little trip.
Check out a few of the patterns that inspired me!
Here is a cute little poncho that would be great for warmer weather. There are two versions – a knitted one and a crochet one! It’s called Sea Glass Shoulder Cozy. The knit version is by Elizabeth Finn and the crocheted one by Diane L. Augustin. They’re free on Ravelry! They both use sport weight yarn so it would be perfect for the new yarn we just got in called Cotton Silk Tweed.
Another pattern that caught my eye is this gorgeous mosaic crochet blanket. I don’t do a lot of crochet and wouldn’t know the first thing about mosaic crochet, but you crocheters out there just might! This one is called Happy Together by BebaBlanket and is about $9.00. If I were to make it, I would use Universal Yarns Uptown Worsted. And I would totally copy the colors used in the pattern model!
