My only appointment was in the afternoon. When I scheduled the trip I left Thursday morning open since I was hoping to meet with one or two stores. Neither needed or wanted to meet, so the late start. However, the time was put to good use as I finished a sample hat for one of my companies and I was able to rest up for the long drive home at the end of the day.
Today I visited with Miriam at Wool Away Fiber Arts in St. Johnsbury, VT. The visit went long as many customers came to the store while I was there. However, I always have a sock at the ready, and I continued work on the Waikiwi sock #2. Amongst the things that Miriam ordered is some Raggi yarn in camo and other colorways from Swedish Yarns. Hunting season is approaching and some of her customers are looking to knit some items for the hunters in their lives.
Note: I started writing this on Friday, the 4th, but didn’t get very far as some of my family showed up for me to drive them into Boston for their cruise.
