Lambikins Hideaway
Baaaa
I had the BEST day today - I LOVE Lambikins Hideaway!
This is such an amazing and lovely shop - I've seldom seem such a rich and full selection. There's room EVERYWHERE for the knitters, the lookers, the touchers and feelers, the yarn huggers and smellers (hi Laurie!) and even the yarn buyers - this is a magnificent shop!
The drive down was wonderful - I left at 8:30 (after kissing the kids goodbye, hugging Atticus - who was very unhappy with me - and taking a peek at the roses whose blooming I'll miss) and headed West. 
The drive was good and fast, and I was amazed and gratified to arrive at 7:00 at my host's home, where there was a beer with my name on it (actually, Sam Adam's name...) and we all settled onto the back porch for a lot of laughing and some knitting.
My hosts are so wonderful! I'm going to enjoy staying here SO much!
You all know that I'm a little bathroom obsessed, and "my" bathroom here at Donna's house is so beautiful! If I were going to re-do a bathroom (hey, I AM!) I'd use this one as a model. White, white, white - yet so interesting and textured.
So after a delicious and restful sleep, off to Lambikins Hideaway and a class of rowdy, chatty, fun and enthusiastic knitters. WHAT A GROUP! If they had half as much fun as I did they got their money's worth! The skill of the knitters was tremendous, and everyone got a really nice head start working on their Cocoon Jackets.
Tonight we're going to dinner at the Montgomery Inn - I've been told it's a landmark and that it might not be the best idea to wear my Jane Q Liberal T-shirt... I'll write about it today, but I've been told that the ribs and the shrimp are landmark. Hmmmm....
Cuppa
Now that you all know how much I love Yorkshire Gold, I'll show you my new favorite mug! This is the mug I went nuts over in Minnesota that Jennie-the-potter created for me. She's still working on her website, and I promise that as soon as she goes live I'll have a link to her site - I, personally, cannot WAIT!

Isn't Lambikin's great? What a sensory experience! And how did you enjoy the shop greeter?
I had a GREAT time too. I definatly got my moneys worth! You are a hoot! I enjoyed the class so much, I like the flow of it. It seemed to have the right balance of structure, free flow, humor, etc. that it keep me on my toes ready for what was going to come next. Can't wait for tomorrow's class.
Out of the handfull of LYSs that we have avalible in the area I like Lambikin's the best. Not only do they have a great selection, but the staff is just awsome. They are always willing to help with anything. Also I have always been told that I can do anything that I want to do. As long as I can knit an purl then my options are endless.
Thanks for the fun and informative class. You are truely a great teacher.
