Escape to Scappoose!

On Friday, December 5, we picked up my friend Teresa from the airport for a weekend visit! And on Saturday, Teresa, Roberta, Seymour, and I got up earlyish for a yarn event, the Blue Moon Fiber Arts destashing sale in Scappoose.

First, we drove to NE Alberta Street to pick up Teresa's friend Peggy, who was also in town and interested in the event. She had her monkey pal Winston with her.

Roberta, Seymour, and Winston at the Random Order coffeehouse.

We all drove out to the sale, which was at an Inn in Scappoose, north of Portland.

Roberta in my lap and Peggy winding one of her purchases.

Roberta in front of lots of yummy yarn.

Teresa was a minor celebrity here. (At this point, she had knit 21 sock monkeys based on the pattern created by that woman in the center of the frame.)

Peggy and I were amused to see Winston's attempts to interest Roberta.

And in case you'd like to see the purchases from that excursion:

Enough for a Clapotis scarf, 5 pairs of socks, and another scarf or two.
