It has been SO long since I’ve visited a new lys and wrote about it! Must travel more :)
Anyway, I was able to get out of town a few months ago, and I got to celebrate my birthday with my sister (our birthday, really. twin power!) in Monterey, CA. ISN’T IT GORGEOUS?!? Look at that water.
I dragged my sister along to Monarch Knitting in Pacific Grove, which is such a cute little town. The store was my dream of a lys:
big windows for lots of bright natural light
big floofy dog in the store
big yarn selection
friendly owner
cozy armchairs and a knitting circle in progress as you walk in the door
I ended up leaving with some pretty Koigu KPPPM and a free printed cowl pattern (the store sample was so pretty!)
