Going Toward the Light

You know that celestial sound of angels singing as the gates of heaven open? I heard it. No, it wasn't a near-death experience. It was a near-yarn experience. It was when I entered this little shop in Wickford, Rhode Island called And the Beadz Go on (cute name - obviously they have beads, too.)

First off, I told my guy, "I'll just be a minute, I just want to check it out. I mean, I certainly don't need any yarn, and it's not like I've never seen a yarn store before."

Open door. Cue angels. Wow. What a shop. What a selection. It's small but there was so much to look at - and (dare I say it --) so much to buy.

All this great novelty yarn is at the front of the store, so I immediately thought about making some multi-yarn stash buster scarves. (I know, it's called a stash buster scarf for a reason.) I guess in this instance, it should be called a CASH buster scarf, because I loaded a basket with all sorts of fun stuff: a Tahki/St.Charles "Cancun", a Berrocco "Optik" - all sorts of things to ride along and mix and match.  I'll share more as I bring these project to life, now that I've come back to earth myself. And if you are ever in Rhode Island, stop by this shop. It truly is to die for.

I like that store, too, but my favorite RI store is Sakonnet Purls in Tiverton Four Corners - an old farmhouse full of yarn.
