Hill Country Yarn Crawl: Day 4

The fourth and final day! Sad face. Only two shops left! My dear and darling husband agreed to drive me back to Austin since we had plans to check out the Just Between Friends sale in Georgetown that morning anyway, so off we went! He's been wanting me to make him a Fibonacci scarf for some time anyway, so I told him we could find him some nice yarn if he was willing to tag along.

Hill Country Yarn Crawl: Day 1

Yesterday I embarked on the first leg of my very first yarn crawl. There was one in Colorado I eyed a couple times, but didn't ever get to, so when I learned about the Hill Country Yarn Crawl (the best little yarn crawl in Texas, they say) I decided it was time to see what it was all about! I mean, I've heard of pub crawls, and even done one once, in fact, but a yarn crawl? Seems logistically challenging at the least. And perhaps it is. But it's a great way to get to know a l
