yarn shops in the yard crawl and I

00:08:23,940 –> 00:08:32,610

bought something from every single store

00:08:28,970 –> 00:08:34,500

00:08:32,610 –> 00:08:36,390

00:08:39,840 –> 00:08:46,050

the longest episode on the face of the

00:08:41,940 –> 00:08:47,790

planet so excuse the crinkling there

00:08:46,050 –> 00:08:49,890

will be a lot of it that’s how I’ve

00:08:47,790 –> 00:08:54,750

managed to keep everything separate so I

00:08:49,890 –> 00:08:56,760

can film this yeah let’s go through it

00:08:54,750 –> 00:09:00,390

the first yarn shop we stopped at was

00:08:56,760 –> 00:09:05,060

New England yarn and spindle in bristol

00:09:00,390 –> 00:09:07,590

connecticut and i bought a skein of

00:09:05,060 –> 00:09:11,250

plymouth yarn company ninety percent

00:09:07,590 –> 00:09:17,390

superwash merino 10% nylon happy feet

00:09:11,250 –> 00:09:20,550

100 splash hand dyed speckle yarn i

00:09:17,390 –> 00:09:23,780

couldn’t walk away from it I was just

00:09:20,550 –> 00:09:27,180

hanging out there I couldn’t walk away

00:09:23,780 –> 00:09:29,700

it’s so lovely there’s a bunch of

00:09:27,180 –> 00:09:33,750

different blues and there’s some yellow

00:09:29,700 –> 00:09:37,590

and some purple a little bit of pink but

00:09:33,750 –> 00:09:42,180

mostly blues and there’s both this like

00:09:37,590 –> 00:09:44,270

Navy type blue and this more kind of a

00:09:42,180 –> 00:09:48,890

greenish blue teal color I’m very

00:09:44,270 –> 00:09:48,890

excited to work with this

00:09:49,970 –> 00:09:55,680

yes it’s it’s clear that I don’t go to

00:09:53,490 –> 00:09:57,390

these yarn stores often enough because

00:09:55,680 –> 00:09:59,130

I’m trying to bust so much stash because

00:09:57,390 –> 00:10:01,200

every single one of them surprised me

00:09:59,130 –> 00:10:04,470

with their stock I had no idea that

00:10:01,200 –> 00:10:11,430

Bristol carried speckle yarn and things

00:10:04,470 –> 00:10:13,190

so I bought that in Bristol if you look

00:10:11,430 –> 00:10:16,170

on a map you’ll see that we did this

00:10:13,190 –> 00:10:22,050

circuit for the first day because then

00:10:16,170 –> 00:10:26,550

we moved on to Avon and Avon was kind

00:10:22,050 –> 00:10:30,210

enough to give us these Official Yarn

00:10:26,550 –> 00:10:38,210

Crawl bags where I’ve got everything

00:10:30,210 –> 00:10:38,210

stuffed and there I bought some

00:10:38,330 –> 00:10:49,950

malabrigo Rios in the colorway compar

00:10:43,350 –> 00:10:54,270

cita which is a merino superwash at a

00:10:49,950 –> 00:10:56,300

worsted weight it looks a little brown

00:10:54,270 –> 00:11:06,830

in my little screen it’s more of a

00:10:56,300 –> 00:11:06,830

burgundy dark reddish color

00:11:08,170 –> 00:11:12,129

new string

00:11:15,290 –> 00:11:25,019

yes that’s what I bought neiva I tried

00:11:21,959 –> 00:11:28,260

to minimize it too I had a list of

00:11:25,019 –> 00:11:30,930

things um I mostly stuck to my list

00:11:28,260 –> 00:11:32,670

mostly mostly stuck to my list this

00:11:30,930 –> 00:11:34,800

buckle yarn was not on my list but I

00:11:32,670 –> 00:11:40,589

mostly stuck to my list of things that i

00:11:34,800 –> 00:11:43,800

knew i was going to be making soon so

00:11:40,589 –> 00:11:47,070

that’s we bought in avon then we moved

00:11:43,800 –> 00:11:58,980

on to in sheep’s clothing in torrington

00:11:47,070 –> 00:12:09,769

where i bought two skeins of the stellar

00:11:58,980 –> 00:12:12,660

Jacques by Adria Phil I don’t know what

00:12:09,769 –> 00:12:17,430

I’m guessing the colors just this number

00:12:12,660 –> 00:12:23,279

which is zero 8000 five on to present

00:12:17,430 –> 00:12:25,550

superwash wool I’m very excited to work

00:12:23,279 –> 00:12:25,550

with that

00:12:30,829 –> 00:12:38,190

sorry again for the noise of the bag

00:12:33,620 –> 00:12:42,660

although the street and then we went

00:12:38,190 –> 00:12:45,870

over to black sheep yarns in Kent where

00:12:42,660 –> 00:12:51,870

I didn’t buy any yarn but I got some

00:12:45,870 –> 00:12:55,440

decently priced Jaggu 32 inch circular

00:12:51,870 –> 00:12:59,160

needles I got one in this size one the

00:12:55,440 –> 00:13:02,370

2.25 millimeter and decide 0 2

00:12:59,160 –> 00:13:06,600

millimeter they’re really good price

00:13:02,370 –> 00:13:09,240

actually because i think you get them

00:13:06,600 –> 00:13:12,420

for eight dollars on amazon and these

00:13:09,240 –> 00:13:14,339

were nine so that’s really not that much

00:13:12,420 –> 00:13:20,399

of a bump for a local yarn store to have

00:13:14,339 –> 00:13:23,250

so that was worth it because I do need a

00:13:20,399 –> 00:13:28,490

pair of ones to swatch for that sweater

00:13:23,250 –> 00:13:33,510

and I found out that my gauge going from

00:13:28,490 –> 00:13:37,410

dpns to Magic Loop but the chow goose

00:13:33,510 –> 00:13:41,810

goes up so if i want to make socks for

00:13:37,410 –> 00:13:44,910

myself using my usual stitch count and

00:13:41,810 –> 00:13:50,220

type of fabric think i need to go down

00:13:44,910 –> 00:13:56,910

to the US zeros you can’t ever have too

00:13:50,220 –> 00:13:59,399

many mute too many what and you can’t

00:13:56,910 –> 00:14:04,490

have too many needles right I mean come

00:13:59,399 –> 00:14:04,490

on we’re knitters that is what we do

00:14:05,840 –> 00:14:10,520

so that was on friday on saturday we

00:14:08,930 –> 00:14:11,870

went to the remaining three yarn shops

100

00:14:10,520 –> 00:14:16,700

because of where they’re located in the

101

00:14:11,870 –> 00:14:20,420

state first we went to a stitch in time

102

00:14:16,700 –> 00:14:27,020

in Bethel and this is where I splurge

103

00:14:20,420 –> 00:14:30,080

this is oh okay this is where I went

104

00:14:27,020 –> 00:14:33,050

off-book a little bit I had planned to

105

00:14:30,080 –> 00:14:35,840

get some lace wait to do a lace weight

106

00:14:33,050 –> 00:14:43,190

Pebble Beach shawl which I did I got

107

00:14:35,840 –> 00:14:49,550

this Jagger spun I’m not sure if that’s

108

00:14:43,190 –> 00:14:53,140

how you pronounce that jagg er um Zephyr

109

00:14:49,550 –> 00:14:56,930

which is 50% wolf fifty percent silk

110

00:14:53,140 –> 00:14:59,330

hundred grams so approximately eleven

111

00:14:56,930 –> 00:15:08,060

hundred and twenty yards I got one in

112

00:14:59,330 –> 00:15:14,600

indigo and one in steel which actually

113

00:15:08,060 –> 00:15:18,620

was a pretty good price and then I

114

00:15:14,600 –> 00:15:24,350

treated myself a little bit because this

115

00:15:18,620 –> 00:15:29,030

place had madelinetosh unicorn tails so

116

00:15:24,350 –> 00:15:33,620

I got the Magnolia leaf cuz I’ve never

117

00:15:29,030 –> 00:15:36,230

worked with madelinetosh before dad you

118

00:15:33,620 –> 00:15:42,650

know full scans and everything but these

119

00:15:36,230 –> 00:15:45,440

were five or six dollars so you know

120

00:15:42,650 –> 00:15:48,440

nice sample size and then she also had

121

00:15:45,440 –> 00:15:52,480

random mini scans for a few dollars so i

122

00:15:48,440 –> 00:15:57,430

got this I don’t know what it is but um

123

00:15:52,480 –> 00:16:02,060

it’s like a muted olive green blue

124

00:15:57,430 –> 00:16:06,490

reddish color it’s really nice and I’m

125

00:16:02,060 –> 00:16:08,810

going to put at least some of it into my

126

00:16:06,490 –> 00:16:10,640

my cozy memories blanket but I’ll

127

00:16:08,810 –> 00:16:14,830

probably have a lot left over because

128

00:16:10,640 –> 00:16:18,150

he’s this is a big Minnie scheme so

129

00:16:14,830 –> 00:16:24,840

eventually I will be doing mini skein

130

00:16:18,150 –> 00:16:26,250

swaps again probably the yarn gasm

131

00:16:24,840 –> 00:16:30,380

podcast group because there’s a lot of

132

00:16:26,250 –> 00:16:33,330

people trading many scans there but um

133

00:16:30,380 –> 00:16:36,300

yeah if you trade minis with me you

134

00:16:33,330 –> 00:16:46,860

might expect to see some of this mystery

135

00:16:36,300 –> 00:16:49,140

yarn in what I send you that is a

136

00:16:46,860 –> 00:16:51,000

wonderful store the Bethel store um I

137

00:16:49,140 –> 00:16:53,280

mean all these stores are great stores

138

00:16:51,000 –> 00:16:55,250

but the Bethel one it’s probably the

139

00:16:53,280 –> 00:16:58,530

biggest set of all the yarn stores and

140

00:16:55,250 –> 00:17:02,630

half of it is yarn and half of it is

141

00:16:58,530 –> 00:17:02,630

knit needlepoint so there’s a lot of

142

00:17:02,960 –> 00:17:07,320

variety of things to look at that’s a

143

00:17:05,430 –> 00:17:12,709

hard one to walk out of without buying

144

00:17:07,320 –> 00:17:17,100

lots of things so then we went down to

145

00:17:12,709 –> 00:17:19,650

Nancy o in ridgefield which it’s another

146

00:17:17,100 –> 00:17:23,900

half and half store it’s half yarn shop

147

00:17:19,650 –> 00:17:27,120

and it looks like half consignment type

148

00:17:23,900 –> 00:17:29,010

fancy things i’m not sure but there’s

149

00:17:27,120 –> 00:17:30,870

like clothing and jewelry and things on

150

00:17:29,010 –> 00:17:35,220

the other half of the store i didn’t

151

00:17:30,870 –> 00:17:38,010

really look there but uh and i didn’t

152

00:17:35,220 –> 00:17:40,590

buy any yarn either um because there

153

00:17:38,010 –> 00:17:45,030

wasn’t anything that was grabbing me at

154

00:17:40,590 –> 00:17:52,050

that store but i did buy some soap will

155

00:17:45,030 –> 00:17:54,860

wash in the yuzu scent which is like a

156

00:17:52,050 –> 00:17:54,860

citrusy scent

157

00:17:56,510 –> 00:18:00,560

because I’m running low and you can

158

00:17:58,970 –> 00:18:06,350

never have too much will wash if you’re

159

00:18:00,560 –> 00:18:09,040

a knitter so that’s always good and then

160

00:18:06,350 –> 00:18:12,140

we went on to westport yarns in westport

161

00:18:09,040 –> 00:18:15,890

which is my sick my sister’s local yarn

162

00:18:12,140 –> 00:18:23,510

shop she lives a whole three blocks away

163

00:18:15,890 –> 00:18:27,920

from it and I ended up buying some

164

00:18:23,510 –> 00:18:32,300

Wonderland yarns pigments of imagination

165

00:18:27,920 –> 00:18:35,480

march hare it says March Hare here and

166

00:18:32,300 –> 00:18:39,800

it says goats beard here so I’m not sure

167

00:18:35,480 –> 00:18:49,010

what’s what but it’s this lovely light

168

00:18:39,800 –> 00:18:52,130

total gray worsted weight superwash

169

00:18:49,010 –> 00:18:54,950

merino I did not know that Wonderland

170

00:18:52,130 –> 00:18:57,470

yarns was um died by frabjous fibers

171

00:18:54,950 –> 00:19:01,100

I’ve spun with frabjous fibers fiber

172

00:18:57,470 –> 00:19:03,770

before and I really like how that fiber

173

00:19:01,100 –> 00:19:07,190

spends up so I’m excited to work with

174

00:19:03,770 –> 00:19:09,590

this because I mean you can tell it’s

175

00:19:07,190 –> 00:19:12,100

tonal but it’s hard to see exactly how

176

00:19:09,590 –> 00:19:16,430

it’ll turn out when it’s all stained up

177

00:19:12,100 –> 00:19:22,810

but um I’m excited and it’s very squishy

178

00:19:16,430 –> 00:19:22,810

it’s a squishy yarn yes

179

00:19:24,580 –> 00:19:35,150

she also gave me a tape measure my

180

00:19:30,770 –> 00:19:38,600

support yarns tape measure um who was it

181

00:19:35,150 –> 00:19:42,560

Avon also i had a goody bag to go with

182

00:19:38,600 –> 00:19:43,880

it Avon the Avon store the end pearls I

183

00:19:42,560 –> 00:19:45,850

don’t know if I mentioned that Nitin

184

00:19:43,880 –> 00:19:49,040

pearls is the name of the Avon store

185

00:19:45,850 –> 00:19:53,470

they have their own brand of tea now so

186

00:19:49,040 –> 00:19:53,470

we got a little goodie bag that had a

187

00:19:54,430 –> 00:20:01,250

package of tea in it and a couple of

188

00:19:57,920 –> 00:20:04,040

little fun size candy bars for us to

189

00:20:01,250 –> 00:20:08,330

snack on during our crawl and tea was

190

00:20:04,040 –> 00:20:10,520

really good they had a black tea I think

191

00:20:08,330 –> 00:20:12,740

it was called orange cookie so it was

192

00:20:10,520 –> 00:20:15,770

like an orange e black tea it was really

193

00:20:12,740 –> 00:20:19,810

good I might have to stop there and get

194

00:20:15,770 –> 00:20:29,150

some tea from this yarn stock yard store

195

00:20:19,810 –> 00:20:32,600

and then I can show you this year they

196

00:20:29,150 –> 00:20:36,080

decided to do a passport booklet instead

197

00:20:32,600 –> 00:20:38,090

of last year we had a print off PDF that

198

00:20:36,080 –> 00:20:40,010

had the name of the stores and we were

199

00:20:38,090 –> 00:20:42,650

turn it in at the end this year they

200

00:20:40,010 –> 00:20:44,660

gave us this booklet it was five dollars

201

00:20:42,650 –> 00:20:51,530

but I mean it’s worth it because it has

202

00:20:44,660 –> 00:20:54,100

um it has recipes and patterns in it so

203

00:20:51,530 –> 00:20:58,040

each store gave a recipe and a pattern

204

00:20:54,100 –> 00:21:02,210

there’s a center pull out page with some

205

00:20:58,040 –> 00:21:05,300

coupons and a little information about

206

00:21:02,210 –> 00:21:09,140

each store that you’re going to like

207

00:21:05,300 –> 00:21:12,350

what kind of things they carry a little

208

00:21:09,140 –> 00:21:14,810

blurb about them and they let us keep it

209

00:21:12,350 –> 00:21:18,260

at the end which is very nice because

210

00:21:14,810 –> 00:21:20,180

our passport was on the back yeah you

211

00:21:18,260 –> 00:21:22,760

have a stamp row sticker from every

212

00:21:20,180 –> 00:21:24,800

store and they just took a photo of the

213

00:21:22,760 –> 00:21:27,140

inside page where you put your name and

214

00:21:24,800 –> 00:21:30,770

your phone number and your email address

215

00:21:27,140 –> 00:21:33,210

and that entered us into the the grand

216

00:21:30,770 –> 00:21:36,630

prize drawing

217

00:21:33,210 –> 00:21:39,000

so that’s really cool that that we got

218

00:21:36,630 –> 00:21:45,360

something cool out of it and we got to

219

00:21:39,000 –> 00:21:53,520

keep the memento so that was fun would

220

00:21:45,360 –> 00:21:56,940

recommend it is a great tour of Western

221

00:21:53,520 –> 00:22:01,289

Connecticut honestly it’s it’s a great

222

00:21:56,940 –> 00:22:03,539

and I mean you could do it in one day it

223

00:22:01,289 –> 00:22:07,679

would be rough it would be timing

224

00:22:03,539 –> 00:22:10,529

specific but um but I like doing the two

225

00:22:07,679 –> 00:22:15,960

days because we leave here at like ten

226

00:22:10,529 –> 00:22:17,669

o’clock we get home two or three o’clock

227

00:22:15,960 –> 00:22:21,330

depending on you know where we stopped

228

00:22:17,669 –> 00:22:25,169

for lunch and we’re all that takes place

229

00:22:21,330 –> 00:22:27,210

whether we dawdle anywhere else Friday

230

00:22:25,169 –> 00:22:28,649

we were going around north we ran to a

231

00:22:27,210 –> 00:22:31,049

couple of other places to run some

232

00:22:28,649 –> 00:22:33,899

errands post office CBS that kind of

233

00:22:31,049 –> 00:22:36,029

thing just because it’s part of our way

234

00:22:33,899 –> 00:22:40,140

there and the stops that we always go to

235

00:22:36,029 –> 00:22:43,140

but it was really fun it was really

236

00:22:40,140 –> 00:22:45,120

really fun and then on Sunday we went to

237

00:22:43,140 –> 00:22:48,690

the Coventry farmers market fiber

238

00:22:45,120 –> 00:22:50,070

weekend now we had heard that the people

239

00:22:48,690 –> 00:22:52,799

who are running out aren’t going to be

240

00:22:50,070 –> 00:22:55,799

running it anymore but some of the

241

00:22:52,799 –> 00:22:58,230

vendors were saying that they’ve brought

242

00:22:55,799 –> 00:23:00,179

it to the town to maybe have the town

243

00:22:58,230 –> 00:23:03,600

run the farmers market because there are

244

00:23:00,179 –> 00:23:06,059

a lot of farmers were who participate in

245

00:23:03,600 –> 00:23:09,330

this farmers market where this is a huge

246

00:23:06,059 –> 00:23:12,690

chunk of their livelihood there wasn’t

247

00:23:09,330 –> 00:23:15,720

as many fiber folks as there usually are

248

00:23:12,690 –> 00:23:17,760

this year and we’re thinking maybe the

249

00:23:15,720 –> 00:23:20,669

news that this could be the last one was

250

00:23:17,760 –> 00:23:23,460

a part of that but there was some you

251

00:23:20,669 –> 00:23:26,250

know old favorites there and I did end

252

00:23:23,460 –> 00:23:29,070

up buying a few things the first thing I

253

00:23:26,250 –> 00:23:32,159

bought was from Madison wool which I

254

00:23:29,070 –> 00:23:35,090

believe is a yarn shop in Madison

255

00:23:32,159 –> 00:23:43,100

Connecticut and it’s this beautiful

256

00:23:35,090 –> 00:23:43,100

polwarth from 22 to hand spun

257

00:23:43,880 –> 00:23:50,610

with his bright colors there was another

258

00:23:47,940 –> 00:23:54,120

one that was like hi lighter colors it

259

00:23:50,610 –> 00:23:55,920

was astonishing but I really liked how

260

00:23:54,120 –> 00:23:57,840

this one went I don’t know what I’ll

261

00:23:55,920 –> 00:24:01,050

make out of this when I spin it but I

262

00:23:57,840 –> 00:24:06,330

don’t know if I’ve spun Polwarth before

263

00:24:01,050 –> 00:24:08,790

but it’s really floofy I really like it

264

00:24:06,330 –> 00:24:14,750

um just touching it so this should be

265

00:24:08,790 –> 00:24:19,770

really really fun to spin and then I

266

00:24:14,750 –> 00:24:23,460

bought from old favorites sorry this is

267

00:24:19,770 –> 00:24:27,390

really crinkly or just broke alpaca this

268

00:24:23,460 –> 00:24:30,420

is one ounce two ounces of alpaca I tend

269

00:24:27,390 –> 00:24:37,110

to buy a little bit of fiber from them

270

00:24:30,420 –> 00:24:39,630

every year i have several um small bits

271

00:24:37,110 –> 00:24:41,880

of hand spun like two ounce 1 ounce bits

272

00:24:39,630 –> 00:24:46,200

of hands fun from various alpaca vendors

273

00:24:41,880 –> 00:24:48,240

that are local so I decided to get

274

00:24:46,200 –> 00:24:50,640

another one because I’m going to

275

00:24:48,240 –> 00:24:53,520

eventually turn them all into a quicker

276

00:24:50,640 –> 00:24:55,890

yarn stretcher I think that would be a

277

00:24:53,520 –> 00:25:00,360

good use of all these different bits of

278

00:24:55,890 –> 00:25:02,930

alpaca most of them are variations on

279

00:25:00,360 –> 00:25:07,170

the natural colors so a lot of creams

280

00:25:02,930 –> 00:25:10,260

Browns blacks I have one that slightly

281

00:25:07,170 –> 00:25:14,550

died but it’s it’s died in like soft

282

00:25:10,260 –> 00:25:19,320

orange tan colors so it’ll work well

283

00:25:14,550 –> 00:25:21,510

with that she had a lot of died stuff

284

00:25:19,320 –> 00:25:23,570

this year so greens and blues but she

285

00:25:21,510 –> 00:25:25,980

did have some of the natural and she

286

00:25:23,570 –> 00:25:31,860

always leaves a little tuft hanging out

287

00:25:25,980 –> 00:25:35,940

so you can touch it so it’s more fiber

288

00:25:31,860 –> 00:25:40,860

to spin and then I had to buy from these

289

00:25:35,940 –> 00:25:47,090

folks again this is the Palmer family

290

00:25:40,860 –> 00:25:53,820

farm about two skeins of CVM which is

291

00:25:47,090 –> 00:25:59,770

California variegated mutt mutant

292

00:25:53,820 –> 00:26:04,000

starts with an M so it’s not a a pure

293

00:25:59,770 –> 00:26:09,280

breed sheep but the wool that these

294

00:26:04,000 –> 00:26:18,790

sheep produce is really it’s really

295

00:26:09,280 –> 00:26:22,600

dense and springy like there’s a lot of

296

00:26:18,790 –> 00:26:27,490

stretch in it and it it’s prawns like

297

00:26:22,600 –> 00:26:30,660

it’s squishy it’s a little bit stickier

298

00:26:27,490 –> 00:26:32,950

than other wolves that I’ve used um I’m

299

00:26:30,660 –> 00:26:39,280

guessing that when you share these sheep

300

00:26:32,950 –> 00:26:42,490

they have very curly locks because even

301

00:26:39,280 –> 00:26:44,440

the little bits of halo that are

302

00:26:42,490 –> 00:26:48,790

sticking out there’s not much halo but

303

00:26:44,440 –> 00:26:53,410

the little bits are super curly but the

304

00:26:48,790 –> 00:26:55,960

lady who sells it was saying that it is

305

00:26:53,410 –> 00:26:59,110

excellent for socks now I’ve made a

306

00:26:55,960 –> 00:27:04,210

scarf out of this breed and it is a very

307

00:26:59,110 –> 00:27:09,340

warm scarf so I thought I needed to make

308

00:27:04,210 –> 00:27:12,580

myself a pair of socks and I went with

309

00:27:09,340 –> 00:27:17,860

the natural undyed stuff she does have

310

00:27:12,580 –> 00:27:23,260

some died stuff but um I like I like the

311

00:27:17,860 –> 00:27:25,470

natural brown she does have a website so

312

00:27:23,260 –> 00:27:27,970

if you’re interested in trying this

313

00:27:25,470 –> 00:27:29,590

breed of sheep I don’t I don’t think

314

00:27:27,970 –> 00:27:33,640

I’ve run across anybody else who sells

315

00:27:29,590 –> 00:27:39,660

yarn from this breed of sheep she has a

316

00:27:33,640 –> 00:27:42,280

website um Palmer family farm com I

317

00:27:39,660 –> 00:27:46,870

don’t know if she’s got a store up there

318

00:27:42,280 –> 00:27:51,540

but if you’re interested in buying some

319

00:27:46,870 –> 00:27:51,540

of this it is um

320

00:27:52,190 –> 00:27:57,909

it’s well worth trying out cuz I mean

321

00:27:58,410 –> 00:28:06,000

this is a two-ply but it’s this is like

322

00:28:04,290 –> 00:28:08,220

right in the lens oh it’s not going to

323

00:28:06,000 –> 00:28:14,220

focus i have an unfixed focus i’m trying

324

00:28:08,220 –> 00:28:18,960

a thing let’s say can I get it focus no

325

00:28:14,220 –> 00:28:23,310

I can’t but even out of focus you can

326

00:28:18,960 –> 00:28:26,520

see that’s a very plump twist which

327

00:28:23,310 –> 00:28:33,030

makes it very springy I’m excited to

328

00:28:26,520 –> 00:28:34,770

make socks out of it I’m just chucking

329

00:28:33,030 –> 00:28:36,570

everything over there and i bought some

330

00:28:34,770 –> 00:28:41,420

fudge because there’s a family who sells

331

00:28:36,570 –> 00:28:41,420

fudge and these um let me grab one

332

00:28:43,170 –> 00:28:50,820

in these little packs I got some double

333

00:28:47,310 –> 00:28:56,040

chocolate walnut and a pumpkin one which

334

00:28:50,820 –> 00:28:57,800

I’ve already started eating but they

335

00:28:56,040 –> 00:29:00,420

give you a little spoon so you can just

336

00:28:57,800 –> 00:29:05,520

you can either eat it at the fair or

337

00:29:00,420 –> 00:29:08,390

bring it home um I have great flavors so

338

00:29:05,520 –> 00:29:12,120

we always buy fudge from them when we go

339

00:29:08,390 –> 00:29:16,380

it’s a must but our pie people weren’t

340

00:29:12,120 –> 00:29:19,980

there this year or our Jam people which

341

00:29:16,380 –> 00:29:22,260

was very sad but I know my sister bought

342

00:29:19,980 –> 00:29:25,560

a bunch of stuff because she grocery

343

00:29:22,260 –> 00:29:27,690

shops at farmer’s markets a lot I my mom

344

00:29:25,560 –> 00:29:32,610

got a bunch of cheeses which are really

345

00:29:27,690 –> 00:29:38,700

good so a little successful weekend with

346

00:29:32,610 –> 00:29:40,440

lots of yarn and lots of fiber and the

347

00:29:38,700 –> 00:29:42,240

dogs having a good time outside of the

348

00:29:40,440 –> 00:29:47,760

coventry farmers market cuz we bought

349

00:29:42,240 –> 00:29:49,920

the duck we brought the dogs um that’s

350

00:29:47,760 –> 00:29:51,840

always a good time bringing the dogs to

351

00:29:49,920 –> 00:29:54,660

places although none of them are very

352

00:29:51,840 –> 00:29:56,610

keen on the alpacas that they had one of

353

00:29:54,660 –> 00:29:59,490

the app pakistan’s had a couple of

354

00:29:56,610 –> 00:30:01,860

alpacas in a little fenced-in area none

355

00:29:59,490 –> 00:30:04,830

of them were too keen on them because

356

00:30:01,860 –> 00:30:07,410

they’re too tall for he’s tend not to

357

00:30:04,830 –> 00:30:11,870

like other creatures that are taller

358

00:30:07,410 –> 00:30:15,990

than them I’ve noticed dogs maybe but

359

00:30:11,870 –> 00:30:20,310

not all pakka’s and not some humans

360

00:30:15,990 –> 00:30:23,580

because of how tall they are but yes

361

00:30:20,310 –> 00:30:25,560

that is it um it feels like it’s really

362

00:30:23,580 –> 00:30:27,180

short it’s probably not really short but

363

00:30:25,560 –> 00:30:31,910

it feels like it because not full

364

00:30:27,180 –> 00:30:34,890

episode so I’m gonna get back to

365

00:30:31,910 –> 00:30:38,490

cataloging and updating my ravelry with

366

00:30:34,890 –> 00:30:44,270

all of my fun purchases and I will see

367

00:30:38,490 –> 00:30:47,270

you in mid-october for a full episode

368

00:30:44,270 –> 00:30:47,270

goodbye
