For our date on Saturday, Nate took me to some of the Seattle yarn shops I hadn’t been to yet. First, we went to Hilltop Yarn where he bought me two Rebecca’s, the new one, and issue 26 which contains the pattern to one of his favorites….

Nate is all about racing stripes.

Then we went to The Fiber Gallery where they have some gorgeous navy Silky Wool that looks to be nearly perfect for Abby’s Harry Potter sweater. I’m thinking about heading back there at some point to get it. We were going to go to Weaving Works after that, but I needed to get back to the eastside, and our baby sitter was going to have to leave. So we hit Quizno’s for lunch and headed home. I turned right around and left again, but Nate sneakily took the girls BACK into Seattle, went to Weaving Works, and bought the Alpaca Silk book for me. (Yummy. I really, really like some of those sweaters.) What a guy! I’m a bit speechless, really. He said that they have a bunch of spinning wheels there, so I simply HAVE to go check it out. They offer classes. I’m very excited by this.
