With several stores to choose from , we had to try to find a shop that was sorta on our route, so we opted for Knit One Chat Too. We expected to find a little internet cafe with coffee and muffins and yarn. Instead, we found a lovely and quiet shop with some friendly sales people and great yarn! I did get to take some photos of the shop:
And Big Knitter scored Big with some gorgeous Blue Sky Alpaca cotton:
And later that day he started his first cabled blanket project.
As we left Calgary and headed toward the amazing Canadian Rockies and Banff, we decided to make a pit stop about 30 miles shy of our destination at a town called Canmore. Well, it turned out they were having an artwalk that weekend and so we decided to stay at the local RV park so we could check out some of the events the next day.It turned out Canmore had a yarn shop too, called Knit & Caboodle.
BK found some gorgeous Misti Alpaca worsted weight hand dyed that he's been eyeballing the whole trip at various places. But he couldn't resist this colorway:
Another blanket project awaits.
And here's two of our fave quilts from the show we attended the next day.
