San Francisco is very awesome. We were sorry that we only had one day to explore it – and we decided (we’re not sorry about this bit) to leave the big cameras checked at the hotel rather than carry them with us.
I couldn’t resist having a bit of fun with the hills. Everything we wanted to see felt like it was all uphill, both ways.
We spent part of the morning on a walk though (up?) Chinatown.
These shots are so cheesy, but I get a kick out of them every time.
The houses are the prettiest I’ve ever seen. I love them even more than I love jellybean homes in St John’s, and that’s saying something!
Finally, we achieved the final stop on the fibre tour – Imagiknit. Holy selection, and it’s all good.
I had a really tough time narrowing it down, but ended up settling on 100% tencel, hand dyed. This is where I got the weft for my latest palindrome scarf. The tencel adds strength and shine, but still has fabulous drape.
If you look closely, you can see a tired Tito in the ‘man check’ area ;)
We loved San Francisco so much that we’re planning a return trip, just to spend a few more days in the city. It was a great place to unwind from our road trip!
The yarn from The Blue Brick is beautiful quality and unlike any other I've worked with. Each skein is hand painted and the colours are spectacular! Customer service is always excellent.
Always an amazing service and top quality product. The yarn is exquisit! Customer service is always quick and the people I deal with are always super nice. I only have the nicest things to say about this shop :)
The Blue Brick continues to be one of my go-to brands of yarn. I have been a fiber artist all my life and when I found Shireen’s products, I met my soul yarn! Each strand has been meticulously designed and crafted. You can see the care, attention, and love that is in each skein or cake!
Beautiful Lucious yarn.
Love the yarn!! It’s gorgeous!!
