San Francisco and Fibre Stop 4 – Imagiknit
BySan 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!
And you have to at least go to Alcatraz! Not the prettiest of places – but what an experience!
Love the yarn store! I’d be drooling all over that place too!
