Yarn

Going out for the day with A. is dangerous -- I either come home with a lot of yarn, or I send yarn home with her, or I do both. When I don't come home with yarn, it's with interesting art, or silk -- either made up as scarves and wraps, or lengths for sewing. Bad for my budget!

On Saturday, A. and I had wanted to go to the Kimono Show at the Japan Information and Culture Center, but it's only open M-F, so we went to Ornament as Art: Avant-Garde Jewelry (scroll down) at the Renwick, then over to Barracks Row for yarn at Stitch DC and dinner at the Belga Cafe. Yum.

After a quick stop in Dupont Circle so A. could buy v. expensive but completely adorable shoes (and where I valiantly resisted the call of these lovelies), we went home, where I spent a ridiculous amount of time surfing around the Ravelry site, and on LJ reading fic.

Sunday was spent being a bum, which means I have a ton of laundry to do today. Le sigh.
