i went to hill country weavers on soco and just was mesmerized by all of the yarn! it was outrageous. i ended up buying a shubui gren sock yarn to make the artichoke socks and i ended up buying some bamboo sock needles too! this yarn in the picture is handpainted and hand spun and is $120USD a skein. who wants to be my sugar daddy!?
this is the michael jackson cupcake. it's so good and gooey and cheesey and delicious. and, well, white on the outside, black on the in. hahah!!
it's hot rod weekend in austin and my god, there are so many cute boys! and girls! and cars! and people with tattoos and cars! and greasers! it's so great!
austin is supposedly the state capitol and this is the closest i'm getting. from the bus.
also in soco, the world's largest aloe (well, the biggest i've ever seen! this one's for you derek!)i also got to check out parts and labor, craft-o-rama, and a collectibles store! i spent a chunk of money and now i'm sitting in an uppermiddleclass gentrified neighbourhood drinking san pelligrino and knitting wribblets and going to catch the bus back to where i'm staying and eat eggless egg salad, babaganoush, and get my homework under gear. and then knit and sleep. i'm exhausted.
tomorrow is a FULL day: i'll be doing research in the morning, and then heading back to hill country weavers to do the grand opening of their knitting house! hang out with some knitters, check out more hot rods, and then go see the octopus project and the roots, for free! good good good day.
