Another finished object this year already. Yeah!
Well my friend Cindy and I braved the snow to make our way to Mosaic Yarns for the Queen Anne’s Scarf crochet class.
This was my first time on the train to Chicago and we had a blast. We we arrived we planned on eating at a nice Italian eatery, well unfortunately it was closed we ended up at another restaurant that was quite ok. Nothing to write about for sure.
After lunch we headed back to the class to pick out our yarns. Mosaic is not a large shop, but it has a very nice selection. I really wanted a Debbie Bliss Cashmerino. Not because I love Cashmerino, but I found the perfect color. Unfortunately they didn’t have enough for both the scarf and hat I wanted to make to match. So I ended up finding a close second with Ultra Alpaca.
The class was very nice and I got pretty far in my repeats. By the time Sunday came, I was well on my way to being done and now it’s finished.
Our only snafu of the whole day was on the way home. My DH drove us since it was terrible snow and on the way back he got lost finding the train station. It was the first time we had both been there and if you been to the country you know how dark it is out here. We found a diner to take refuge in and survived that experience. DH felt terrible about that but what can you do. I would definitely go again, but maybe request a day without the snow.
