Love That Hubby!
Conversation last night, while watching something about Titan missiles on The History Channel...
Kaity: Where's Vandenberg?
Me: Up near Solvang
Kaity, Me, and D#2 (in unison): Ahhh, I want to go to Solvang again!
Me: They have yarn stores!
Hubby: Why don't you go?
Me: It's only fun if you have money to spend
Hubby: How much do you want?
The best hubby and dad in the world handed out $$$$$ and said "I think you 3 should go tomorrow - you'll have fun!"
AND WE DID!!
Man - you can hardly beat an impromptu trip to spend money you didn't even know you had!
That beautiful grey-brown is
1330 yards of 100% Superfine Natural Colored Alpaca (musk), spun for the store. Very pretty and super soft, and destined to be a sweater - I'm just not sure which sweater yet.The teal and purple are Khroma KD, in Aegean and Plum (50% baby alpaca, 50% Merino), and I think they're destined to be these handwarmers, from the Spring IK
We had a great day of sh
opping and eating... although poor Kaity ended up getting sick.... all the way home, .. poor thing, but she got some great yarn too! Check her blog, but maybe tomorrow, when she's feeling better ;( Right now, she's still hanging out on the couch, with her bucket... She's even too sick to play with her new yarn - poor thing - that's no fun.

Hope Kaity feels better soon... Food poisoning or just the evil crud that's going around?
You got some great yarn!
Sounds like you three had a wonderful time! What a sweetie you have treating you like that. I like the brown yarn, it looks so pretty and soft, will make a great sweater.
Lovely yarny goodness! I love Solvang...
I hope Kaity feels better soon! That's miserable.
Hope Kaity is feeling better and on the mend soon! Sounds like the three of you had a great time! When we used to live in San Jose, Solvang was one of my mom's favorite places to go. We'd go on weekend excursions and check out all the fun shops. You scored some great yarn!! Gotta love that man. ;-) Take care, Lynda! :-)
Hooray for the sweet husband! Your brown alpaca looks so soft and it will make a great sweater. Hope Kaity is feeling better.
How fun! I didn't know Solvang had any yarn stores! Now, I need to go! Best wishes to Kaity!
Oh, poor Kaity :-( Get better soon!
Pretty yarn. Points for DH!
Give Kaity get well wishes from me!! I'm glad yarny goodness was had before she got sick...so her day wasn't completely ruined.
Your yarn is LOVELY - very pettable. Big points for the hus...that's love!
what a sweet hubby! mine will offer to take me to LYS when we're out of town (i'm always floored when he does that, it's like he's ENCOURAGING me to squander our $$). is that love or what. =)
What a treat! That yarn looks so yummy...
Your hubby is the BEST! I hope Kaity is feeling better.

Such pretty yarn! And who doesn't love an enabling husband? Hope Kaity is feeling better quickly.
You are so lucky. To bad Kaity had such bad luck on the way home. Hope she is better.
Aw,poor kid! I hope it wasn't the aebelskiiver flu!
Didn't see any potential airplane crashes in Santa Barbara, didja?
Tell Kaity I hope she's feeling better soon. What a fun day! (And here I was, thinking you were probably still luggin' and totin' for V. and B.!)
wow, what a nice guy. You guys must have had fun, despite the aftermath. I hope Kaity feels better soon.
That sounds like it was a fun shopping day, and big points for the husband, eh? Your new yarns look so soft and scrumptious.
Poor Kaity though, that's rough. Hope she's better soon, and you don't end up with it too.
I hope Kaity feels better really, really soon! "Sick" and "bucket" in the same sentence is never a good thing to hear.
Loverly yarn. Wish I had someone to hand me money to go buy yarn with...alas...nope.
:o)
That's not a good huby, that's a great hubby. Hope you had fun!
You know you've got a good man when he gives you yarn money! When we were in NC, all I had to do is sweetly, oh so sweetly put out my hand when we got to Great Yarns, and he handed me the debit card, and said "Be reasonable. You owe me!" And it was a very lovely payback, I might add!
I took a roadtrip up to Vandenberg AFB to visit a friend...sadly I was alone with 3 babies one of which was crying the entire weekend. I was so bummed out that I didn't have the same chance you did. Sounds like you gals had a blast.
And the hubby...what a wonderful man!
Hope Kaity is feeling better. Hey, I'm heading for Solvang in August, WHERE ARE THE YARN STORES???????
