Bellevue Washington

(FYI I know my spelling is jacked up but its' technically 2 am east coast my neck and back hurt and i have no energy to even slightly improve my spelling!!)

The company I work for, their logo is on this wall. Can you guess which one? :)

We are staying at the Red Lion in. It's not the snazzies hotel ever, but I really like it. The beds are superb and just beyond comofortable. You get 4 fluffy white pillows on each bed!

One of our "clients" saw my muli-directional scarf, the colorful skinny one. Well turns out she knows how to knit to and we talk about knitting a bit and she kinds of mentions there is a yarn store around the corner. I didn't think anything of it, thinking I wouldn't have time to go and it was probably to far.

So later that day another one of the clients and my manager want to take a walk and we get to talking about knitting and I repeat that there is supposed to be one close by, and they say okay well lets walk around the block (they had wanted to walk around the block anyways) and wouldn't you know, RIGHT THERE is a freakin yarn shop, attached to the same freakin block we are on!! OMG!! Here is the parent store, at the top of the page you can see it says they now have a location in the East. That is the one we went into.

We didn't have time for me to shop, but omg they have Rowan Felted Tweed, which I have never seen in person before! It just FEELS like harry potter sweaters lol (or weasley sweaters actually). Oh I can't wait to go back tommorow durring lunch to SPEND MONAY!!! YA YA!! lol

So tommorow night we leave back for Atlanta, I'll try to take pics at the yarn store tommorow and maybe some cool pictures of work.

Enjoy that Felted Tweed - it's lovely!

ooo, i love hilltop yarns - they're all so nice and the store in downtown is so sweet and cozy. I wish I'd known you were coming to WA, i woulda given you a list! but if you get a chance to eat at the wholefoods, it rocks and in my opinion is one of the only good things about bellevue. There's also am AMAZING veggie chinese place by the space needle - Bamboo Garden - they do seriously amazing things with fake meat that even a hardcore carnivore will swoon over! have a great trip!!

The company that my DH works for is also on that wall! cool
