YPF! The Twisted Edition

I don't think I ever finished telling you all about my weekend in Portland. Yes, there were cupcakes. And Socks that Rock. And the Flock and Fiber Festival. But before all that, there was Twisted. I flew in to Portland on Friday, but Christy (she has the cutest halloween bags for sale right now!) and her family wouldn't be home from Disneyland until late Friday night (which worked out because then I could do a mini local yarn store crawl). After hearing about Twisted all the time on Stacey's blog, I couldn't wait to go. It was fabulous!! I even stayed for movie night! My new favorite Portland yarn store! I'll definately stop by there every visit!

Now, on to the damage...I mean sock yarn....


Twisted Yarns
Yarntini, sportweight is peeking out on the bottom, in the color....Twistini

Zen String Twisted

Painted Skeins
Painted Skeins, color Zutano

All of those colors were so hard to resist! The sock yarn selection at Twisted is absolutely phenomenal!

And a Happy Friday picture! Little Guy woke up before I left Wednesday night and his mom had him model his cable sweater and hat! He just makes me smile to bits!!! I know I am a biased auntie!! But thanks for all the compliments!! Oh, and the guy in the Notre Dame picture is Little Guy's dad (aka The Brother or as my family calls him The Prince)...and when he gets back from Ireland I'll be sure to point out Jessica's and Disco's comments (it'll go straight to his head, of course!).

The Outfit

Have a good weekend!! Go Irish!!! (a girl can hope, can't she??)

Little guy is such a happy chappy. Who wouldn't be in that sweater, with cute doggy too. :-)

And twisted looks like my perfect yarn store. I despair of FL. Love the green/yellow colour you chose. Very nice.

Lil guy is such a ham! No bias needed he is the cutest!

Wow! that Twistini is so drool-worthy.

And Little Guy is just way too adorable! He'll be knocking them dead over in Ireland with that rockin' sweater too.

He is so stinkin' cute! The sweater looks awesome on him. Such a happy baby.

Nice sock yarn. They do have a pretty crazy sock yarn selection there. I bought some the one time I've been there. I have too much sock yarn for a non-sock knitter! :P
