The super bulky yarn I bought in Santa Barbara last Friday was Ushya, by Mirasol. It looks like a tube of I-cord. It was the object of much fascination among the crafters at a party I went to Saturday night. No, it wasn't a crafting party, but we're everywhere, aren't we? I brought along a scarf to knit, which I had cast on that afternoon. By the time the party broke up, it was 4 feet long. I didn't knit much yesterday, but finished it in a few minutes this morning.

I'll have a new, warm scarf to wear on my last week on the bluff at San Simeon. While I was getting a little tired (after 5+ years) of going away for three days each month, I'm going to miss many aspects of that volunteer job.

Gotta run-- I'm not even packed!
