It's a Good Day

There is a song by Natives of the New Dawn called "Good Day." Listen to it at cdbaby.com. Today was a good day. I bought local honey at a farmer's market in Decatur, MI. From there I found an amazing coffeeshop in Lawrence, MI. Keep in mind that Lawrence has a population of about one thousand people. Imagine my surprise when I heard music and wandered into the Red Brick Coffee Shop where I had a yummy blended skim iced mocha. Even better, it has a cozy seating area that would be perfect for a knitting group. I'm going to ask if I can post a sign looking for interested knitters! Next door was The Seeded Earth where I hope to sell some knitted things, and in the basement I found beautiful tie-dye and some funky used clothing at cheap prices! I also checked out the Reits Flea Market where I bought a couple of little things I didn't know I needed, including a $3 metal display rack in case I want to sell my knitting at a market or, I don't know, Bethel College Fall Fest.

I finished off the day by taking a 2 mile walk and finishing my hiking socks. I found the pattern in One-Skein Wonders and used Phildar Auteuil yarn. For you knitters out there, they are done in a broken garter stitch (K3P3 and do the opposite the next time around).
