Anyhoo. Last week I went with my daughter-in-law, Faith, on a fabric shopping expedition. She wants to learn to quilt and asked me to come along to help. Any good quiltaholic worth her salt would jump at the chance....so I jumped......and danced....and clapped! As it turned out my daughter, Jennifer, was also able to go with us. Extra fun. We went to the Kingston shop but nothing caught her eye there so we headed to Bainbridge.
First we had to fuel up at the Blackbird Bakery....home made soup and bread....so nummy.
Here is Faith with her new lovelies. Gonna be a beautiful quilt.
What does this have to do with knitting, you ask? Well......just across the street from where the fabric lives is a very scrumptious yarn store. Bad move. See some of the lovelies that live here?
My eye caught a pattern for a cowl made with silk yarn blends....oh man, its so soft. And this non-knitter could actually do it cuz it was a super easy pattern. So I bought the stuff. Not too bad. But then I went back. And I saw a pattern for the cutest ruffly scarf....so feminine.....easy enough pattern. So I bought the stuff. And then I eyed come cute variegated yarn for a child's hat....a pattern I already conquered. So I bought the stuff. Whatever! I really need to stay away....I have ZERO self control. 
And just cuz.....here are some pics of a few other things I love excessively!
We bought swords for the grandsons and Liam insisted he needed a helmet. Hubby made a couple of paper hats to be helmets.
The wild grandson, who as you can see, gets into everything! Literally! :)
Life is full.

such a great post. I think it's funny that you couldn't resist all those things at the yarn store. Tee hee.
Love those pics of Dad and Liam, and David too. How fun.
And speaking of fun, I am so, so, SO glad that I got to go with you and Faith!
I beg to differ with you, my dear. I believe you ARE a knitter. You have started and completed way too many projects to not be one. ;-) Deal with it!
