Clearly it is time for me to write. A lot has happened and I’ve been too lazy to document it… So I will give a brief summary and elaborate later with the help of photos: Ira and I have a rad apartment, I’ve been promoted to assistant counter manager at work, the weather here is beautiful, I’ve been sewing, embroidering, spinning, knitting, and hiking, and just plain enjoying being in Missoula for another amazing Missoula summer.
Months ago Sharon and I drove to Kalispel to visit their fantastic yarn store, Camas Creek. The Drive was gorgeous. We took the long way around Flathead lake. And even if there hadn’t been a knitting store waiting at the end of the road, the Mission Mountains, fresh air and good conversation made for a sublime day.
The yarn store didn’t disappoint. The selection of yarn, books, and notions was extensive and entertained us for hours.
I bought enough yarn to knit Kingscot. And I’ve been chipping away at it slowly. I seem to have lost the attention span for large projects!
I hear there is a great yarn store in Bozeman…
gah! we so miss montana in the summer… that said, i recommend the road trip up the bitterroot to mountain colors. awesome! big boxes full of their mill ends to dig through and purchase at much cheaper prices than their normal yarns. too fun.
plus, hiking up blodgett canyon, there is a great little thrift store and some nice antique stores in hamilton and a FABULOUS restraunt upstairs in one of the old downtown buildings. yay montana!
