My New Year's resolution was not to buy any more yarn unless I was travelling. And here I am in Chicago, not too far from Loopy Yarns. Since the store was (sort of) directly on my way to see the bean, I thought, how could I not go? What a lovely store. There were so many yarns I could have purchased but I decided I could only buy if I found something I hadn't seen before or that was truly different. This yarn which might be cascade cascadia(??) was it. The name on the ball band is covered by the price tag and I don't remember the name for sure. I will sort it out when I get back to the land of wireless intermet. The hotel has it in the lobby. Otherwise you have to pay some ridiculous amount in the rooms so I have had to be creative with my internet usage. I bought a roaming plan but am going to NJ next month so need to be careful not to use it all in the 2 days I'm in Chicago. I'm here for a conference so haven't done heaps of sightseeing but did get a bit done this afternoon. The bean, the fountain, a river cruise. It was all good but I brought the wrong shoes despite the little voice in my head telling me to be smarter and I came back to the hotel with a couple of blisters. Oh well, they will heal.
