Episode 29: Postcards (From The Edge?)

Hello from a hectic Cheshire Plain! I'm back to earth with a bump after what may well be the best holiday I've ever had. Join me as I knit at some spectacular landmarks!

Knitting on the Easy Knits plain vanilla sock at Four Corners:


And again at Monument Valley:


The "I Remember Mama" socks (my project details here) at the Grand Canyon:


And at London Bridge at Lake Havasu City:


Then in front of the Golden Gate Bridge (it is there, honestly!):


And at AT&T Stadium, watching the Giants versus the San Diego Padres.


Whilst in San Francisco, I visited two yarn stores recommended by listeners. First up, the delightful Imaginiknit on 18th Street at Sanchez. This is the animal fibre room....


...whilst this is the plant-and-other-fibres room.


Then the unique Artfibers on Sutter Street and Grant.

You can find me on Ravelry as talesfromtheplain and on Twitter as talesfromplain (although Tweeting can be sporadic!).


TTFN, Nic
