My first autograph!

Last week I stopped in at Sage Yarn, in Falmouth, MA, in search of some buttons.  It's my favorite yarn store on Cape Cod (Ravelry group here).  I didn't find any buttons, so naturally I had to console myself by buying some yarn instead!  I got a skein of Berroco Inca Gold (merino/silk-- I had assumed it had alpaca in because of the name, but it doesn't) in a nice loden green, for swatching.  I got a few skeins of Berroco Seduce, a rayon/linen/silk/nylon blend, in an interesting color:  a bronzy base with light blue flecks.  It wasn't until I got home that I realized how well it coordinated with a fabric I am using for some accent pillows. (Not planning on making any home accessories with it, though.) 

And I got a single skein of a lovely homespun wool/silk.  I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it, but the colors were so pretty that I thought I would figure that out later.  

On the counter was a stand with issues of the latest Interweave Knits, and I couldn't resist telling the salesperson that my design was on the cover.  So she actually asked me for my autograph!  She took out an issue and put it down on the counter for me to sign.  I was so thrilled, my hand was shaking a bit-- I was afraid I was going to mess up my signature, have to buy that issue, and sign another one.  Made my day!
