Good Wool Hunting
"When you're alone and life is making you lonely, you can always go...downtown" - to the local yarn shop. That's where I ended up today, after getting some nerve-racking medical news (to be continued). I needed to escape from the world and the LYS is always the perfect spot. I chose the Needlework Shoppe ( we call it The Shoppy) in downtown Westport. 
It's a small shop but it has floor to ceiling yarn and a great selection. Of course, I have to make up some excuse for being there, like the Yarn Police are going to jump out and arrest me for "possession with intent to stash." My normal excuse is Cascade 220. Who doesn't always need Cascade 220?? Of course, the sales person usually shakes her head knowingly, "MMM, Cascade 220, you say?" as if she knows she'll soon find you in utter BLISS. (Debbie Bliss, that is.) Actually, I did end up with some 220, a brown that I'll be using to create a Nantucket Basket.
Oooohhh, I love that picture!!! I've been meaning to stop by The Needlework Shoppe and never seem to get to it. I'm certainly going to make sure to check it out next week!!!! Thanks for the tip!!! I hope everything is okay with you and your medical news.

Wow - floor to ceiling! What a great selection.
I hope that medical news is not too bad... my best to you.

Terry, the owner of that shoppe, is a friend of mine. Thanks for giving her such a great review!
