Knitter on tour, part 3 (part 1!)

(Saturday was a really long day, involving visits to 10 LYSs. So, to avoid this post reaching novella status, I’ll be posting it in 2 parts – here’s the first half of Saturday).

Puget Sound LYS Tour 2012 – Day 3

Today was almost the antithesis of yesterday, yarn crawl-wise. For one, I traveled about a 3rd of the distance (and still hit the same number of LYSs I did Thursday); for another, I actually called it a day well before I had to. I didn’t have to push myself as far today…plus, I’m a NASCAR [...]
