Alaskan Books

Jellybean has inherited my love of books. And we found a local used book store in Juneau.

I picked up three new books. Treasure Hunt is a series of murder mystery I think? Little Fires Everywhere is fiction and a Netflix show that looked good. And then Truly Devious I just picked up because it looked pretty.

Jellybean grabbed one kid’s fantasy novel, a fiction that also might be science fiction and then a kid’s murder mystery/detective novel.

Suitcases were stretched tight but we got all these home! And I made good progress on The Mad Wife that I started reading on the plane ride.

Happy Reading!

Juneau Woolies Haul

I was able to find yarn in Alaska! First stop was Juneau and Juneau Woolies. Walked up a very steep hill to get there but it was worth it.

The shop was quant and did a great job on the window display. My kids preferred the ice cream shop next door though.

I picked up some spinning fiber in a bright purple and it’s a merino/tencel blend. Next up was some Juneau Woolies hand dyed yarns. I picked up a mohair lace for more fuzzy hats with some of their cashmere merino sock yarn. Then two skeins of their worsted for hats and an Aran weight skein for maybe some mittens. And finally a wee mini skein for scrap blankets.

Oh and I grabbed some wool wash in cash I magically need to block something in this trip! Hahahah, wishful thinking.

Next Jellybean and I found a used book store on the way back to the boat!

Happy Knitting!!

I got to hold a 9 week old sled dog puppy on our first day on the boat. I was as happy as my face shows!

She was sleepy sleepy and had beautiful blue eyes. I can’t remember her name but I can remember how dense her fur felt and how’s she cuddled into my arms to fall asleep.

Okay, I promise more knitting content tomorrow. Don’t tell Duke I cheated on him!
