AArgh- 6 weeks folks!!
You know, I’m getting married in 6 weeks. Today.
In fact, by now I’d be a married woman. Hard to believe still!!
We’ve done most things, just have to worry about things like the wording for the mass booklets, what music for the church,
seating arrangements for the reception, and bigger things like what to buy for the honeymoon!!!
The Honeymoon is finally booked and paid for, nothing like leaving it to the last minute eh?
We’re off to San Francisco for about a week, then to Aruba in the Carribean for 2 weeks.
(If there’s any good yarn shops in San Francisco that I would kick myself if I missed, please let me know!!! I’m sure that there won’t be any in Aruba but just in case….anyone any idear?)
So, Ive been told that San Fran can be very misty and can be a bit on the chilly side at times, so we have to try and marry (no pun intended) that with the heat in Aruba.
What to wear then? Always a big problem for me as I always over-estimate the amount of clothes I need anyway.
However, I spoke with a good friend of mine (who unfortunately can’t come to the wedding as her brother is getting married the same day in New York- can you believe that!) and she has offered her services to come and help me pick out what I need and pack them, and then make a list of what I need to buy to supplement what I already have…
I think this is a great idea. I need someone to “organise” me at the moment!!
I just need now to decide which sock pattern I will be bringing with me, which yarn, and to do a swatch to make sure my gadge is right. Wouldn’t be able to change needles if my gadge is off I dont have them with me!
Talking of socks, did you see that Magknits is off the air at the moment? (I’m nothing if a little late in mentioning this, its been off for a while now. See a very good post here about it)
I’m just hoping that I saved a copy of Jaywalkers somewhere!!!
I’ve misplaced the cable to upload photos to my laptop so unfortunately no pics until I do!

Don’t worry, the jaywalkers are now available through ravelry download! Good luck with the rest of the wedding prep. Table plans have the potential to be a huge issue!

Oh, you’ll love San Francisco!
There are a few yarn shops, but the one you absolutely can’t miss is ArtFibers. It’s right downtown, and looks a bit weird going in and upstairs, but you won’t regret it. They sell yarns that are spun and dyed specially for the shop (they source lots of it from Japan, I think). I think they provide yarns for lots of industry designers and the big labels. But they definitely stock stuff you don’t get anywhere else.
Have fun!
Oh, and layers. Layers, my friend, is the way to dress for SF.

Sounds like a lovely travel plan for your honeymoon. And the opportunity to visit new yarn shops with different stock. I haave not knit socks in ages but think I will get back to some more portable projects.
