I’m heading out to the Minnetonka area in a bit. I need to figure out how to add the arms to my bear, and Coldwater Collaborative is having one of the Mother Bear classes/meetings today. on my way, I plan to stop at Skeins and see how it is, now that I know how to find it. ;) and I might stop at Yarnzilla while I’m out there as well - see what’s new there.

tomorrow we have a big rehearsal for our St Pat’s performance that’s coming up on Sunday, so I’ll be there most of the night. I’m only in one dance and after rehearsal we have a parade-info-meeting, so I’ll be there at least 2 1/2 hours - plenty of time to knit! (I’m either reknitting Nakiska so I can wear it in the parade next week, or else I’m starting my legwarmers). since classes are in St Paul, I plan to stop and check out some of the ‘downtown’ St Paul shops - I know Yarnery & Borealis are down there, and I think the Textile Center (where the Guild meets) is really close to where my dance school teaches! how convenient!

in other news, I have another ‘pelt’ finished… this one is for, well, I can’t say yet on the off-chance my SP stumbles on my blog… but I will say the pattern knit up really quickly! I bought the kit at Clickety Sticks last Thursday, and finished it up on Tuesday. granted, I didn’t work on it continuously - I’d say it took me maybe 6-10 hours total though. and it’s SO CUTE! I’ll post a pic of it finished (once I figure out how to finish it) after we reveal ourselves.
