Have enjoyed reading several of your personal experiences so much for the past few weeks with the bigger and smaller city as well as this drive on the W-coast!
My shock continuation about this smaller city experience on Friday. I had googled and found two yarn stores. One was open the day after Thanksgiving, and the other not, so the choice was easy.
We parked in a residential street and couldn’t figure out where the store was.

We passed the corner and I saw this window. Turned around again
then saw the store sign( you may faintly see through the window)! I shook my head in disbelief.
The perks of a small city … a store at the end of a residential street!

Choose the light mint green from Blue Sky Cotton
second bin on the left. I gasped (inside) when they rang up the total.
In retrospect, it was totally worth it. I had four hanks left, and was almost enough
( $20 more) for another unique (summery) top.
Deal or what?

This cotton sweater was started at the neck, then going down.*
Maybe you recall that it meant “no room for error?”
I was doing great … untill the second sleeve.
Repeated it 3 times, to match the first one.
Surprisingly, the lace at the neck and pockets were much easier than I thought!
I made the sweater a size bigger, since comfort counts more than looks when painting.
It would be frustrating to have my blood flow cut off, lol.

Do you realize that Denmark is a kingdom?
How about Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Holland, and Spain?
ALL kingdoms ruled by a king and/or queen.
So, the U.K is not the only kingdom in Europe!! I wonder when the MEDIA catches up to that.
The kingdom Luxembourg is ruled by a Grand Duke, and Monaco, Liechtenstein, and Andorra ruled by a prince.
At the inauguration of the New king Willem Alexander and Queen Maxima of Holland last year, all the kings, queens, princes, and princesses were there.
