Yesterday I participated in the 2011 Portland Yarn Crawl. It was a blast! There were a total of 20 shops that were on the shops list, and I hit about 7 of them. Below are some pictures of me and my crew chilling in front of the stores. Each picture will direct you to the shops website. Enjoy!

Hello readers! I have been busily preparing to open an online business. I’m three classes away from graduating from business school and am trying to collect some data through market research. Please take a few minutes to help me out! Thank you!
It’s already August and my wedding is just barely over 2 months away. There is still so much to do. . .
My new job is going quite well. I guess it isn’t really all that new anymore, I’ve been there for nearly five months.
I’m still going to school. . . I have around another year to go before getting my Bachelors in Business.
I’m really hoping to get back to sewing and knitting projects soon! I’ve missed it a great deal, but have been completely swamped with everything else! Maybe it will calm down after the wedding. ^_^ I can hope!
Having a full time job and going to school is time consuming. When I get home from work, there isn’t much time to play. Mostly I have dinner, do my homework, and then go to bed. I have, however, taken two weeks off from school to re-energize so I thought it was a perfect opportunity to post and freshen things up a bit.
I haven’t been sewing lately, but I have been knitting. I’m working on a shawl called Travelling Woman from Ravelry. It’s a gorgeous pattern and is working up rather nicely. I’m very please with it so far. I’m knitting it out of my own homespun, merino/silk. Mmm, beautiful turquoise blue color, it’s gorgeous.
Other than that, I am also planning my October wedding. Things are finally starting to come along. The dress is done, bridesmaids are done, cake is done, pictures, officiant, location, and caterer are all done. Just a few things left to do. I can’t wait!
