Crawly Yarn and Craft Crawl

So Saturday was Aubrey's birthday. The girls and I drove Aubrey to L.A. for a crafty crawl. I mapped out all the places we were visitng and hoped to squeeze in, but we had so much fun, the crawl was slow and we only had time to visit one yarn store before birthday girl had to go back home for a special dinner.

We visited:
1) Suss Designs outlet - none of us bought anything at the clothing sale, but we did get some yarn. I bought 3 pairs of big needles for $4 each, 4 skeins of Lamb's Pride (navy and green) for $4 each, and some buttons for $0.50 each. Picture of the booty ---------->
2) Brunch at Cafe M de Chaya - yum yum yum
3) Felt Club's XL Holiday extravagana - I bought some "make art not war" and "make craft not war" buttons for me and the girls, a hand-screenprinted t-shirt of a frog for my sister, and a 200yd skein of hand-painted mohair for $10! Ok, I really don't know if the girl can be selling hand-painted mohair for $10 a skein because mohair ain't that cheap, even at wholesale prices, and does she count her time and labor? Well, at least I benefitted. :D See picture of my Felt Club booty on left.
4) Stitch Cafe - a small, cute and overstuffed LYS in the valley. Aubrey and Zona both bought yarn. I showed self restraint and didn't get anything.

That's all we had time for. If we had had more time, we also would've tried to visit Black Sheep Knittery, Unwind, Skein, That Yarn Store, and Alamitos Bay Yarn Co. I guess that means we'll have to try an plan another crawl some other time!
