Portland….I love you…..Food carts, arts, more food carts, festive coffee, boutique hotels and amazing service (everywhere)  A few days, a really quick get away and yeah!!!! Portland.  All I can say is that Knit Purl alone was worth the trip.   Oddly enough, our hotel was only one block away.  Who made that reservation.?

With their own line of yarns and carrying my favourite yarns the Knit Purl is great way to lose many hours in a day….I  left the store with several skeins of Shi Bui, thrilled to get it at the source.

Habu Goodness

We left our car at the hotel and did the entire town on food and transit.  We made a pilgrimage to Powell’s, spent so much time just taking it all in…Heavenly…and at night, still time to knit and spin in the hotel room.  Since I didn’t want this post so picture heavy, here is a collage of our Portand.

I’m busy knitting the Malabrigo that I bought at the Yarn Garden (Portland) in my 2nd favourite colour Velvet Grapes.  Favourite colour, Lettuce.
