The test of an adventure is that when you are in the middle of it, you say to yourself, "Oh, now I've got myself into an awful mess; I wish I were sitting quietly at home." And the sign that something is wrong with you is when you sit quietly at home wishing you were out having lots of adventure. -Thornton Wilder

The nice thing about being confused is you get a chance to notice things a lot better than if you knew where you were going.

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.

The Yarn Shop


When you take your wife to a yarn shop, you make the most of it.  
Always have your camera with you wherever you go.

hope you got a new jumper or vest out of it John. I love the look of the yarns in the first image; the wonderful blues and burnt oranges especially

I love those shops, I have knitted a lot in my haydays. Lots of jumpers with very complicated patterns. These are very nice colours, did your wife buy some?

I don't knit or crochet, but sure have fun seeing all the yarns, etc. They make me wish I did one or the other, but I sure don't need any other hobbies.

Yarn shops, fabric shops and book stores are very dangerous places. But you got some good shots!

All these yummy colors have the power to turn most of us into knitters.
