So here are some pictures of my haul from the East:
This represents several places that I visited, including Webs, Northampton Wools, Northampton Wools Too, Creative Fibers, Sit n' Knit, and Marji's. Note the preponderance of bright crayon-y colors suitable for making baby/toddler gear... and the pattern books for baby stuff, too. I think Grandma has fallen hard in love with the new baby.
Still a little too tired to do much more blogging today--I promise pics of my finished--finished!--MOTW sleeve soon, and a few more interesting things from my travels. I'll spare you the shots of #1 grandson's graduation--we were in the bleachers and it was a little too far to focus but I have some other treats in store. Oh, okay, one more.
This is the most beautiful tree, in full bloom, on the lawn approaching the Soldiers' Home. I don't know what it is, and no one I asked did either. Any ideas?

What a haul - and you went to WEBS?????
I'm sorry - but I have no idea what that tree is.
Okay, I did my research, and the tree is a Chinese dogwood, Comus kousa Summer Stars. Can't grow them in SoCal, but the flowers (which are not true flowers; they're bracts, like bougainvillea) apparently stay like this for 2-3 months! What a glorious yard accent!
Ooh, what great yarn booty. Mmm.
Sounds like you had a wonderful trip - grandson and family and yarn - what could be better?
Welcome home!
Oh, Yummy! You went to WEBS in person??? Yeah. I only get to go online. I am green with envy.
What a haul you have.
And a finished MOTW sleeve? Will wonders ever cease?
Love the Lorna's Laces yarn! Did you buy that at Sit 'N Knit? That is one of my favorite yarn stores. I was just there on Friday. :)
