My aunt suggested a few yarn stores for me to visit while in Utah. I made it to one, and I totally chose the right one to visit.
Blazing Needles has all my favorites: koigu, malabrigo, madelinetosh….and so I knew that we had similar taste from the start. As soon as we walked in, a customer grabbed Phoebe to fit something on her (a cable knit cuff pattern she was working on). And then the owner was chatting with us about this and that. I talked to her about yarn bombing my rocking chair and she promptly introduced me to the Yarn Doodler who was just sitting in the back room fiber-arting.
I didn’t know about the Yarn Doodler and so I was thrilled to meet her. She told me about the yarn gift she left in my Bryant Park. I still haven’t stopped by to see if it is still there. I hope it is. You can see on her website that she is always in disguise, so when I asked if we could take a photo together, she insisted on being disguised. It was such a shame too, because she is super dooper darling (DARLING is such a Utah word right? Had to slip it in this post).
If you live in the Salt Lake City Area, I think you should definitely stop by here and take one of their free learn-to-knit or learn-to-crochet classes. I know you would have a lot of fun.
Love, the Yarn Doodler and me.
Fun to read how you met the yarn doodler. This added another adventure to the” yarns” you spin. So happy you liked the shop so much, I knew you would be charmed.
