Hooray!
So I went up to Portland this weekend, and wound up staying a block away from a yarn store, a fabric store, and a needlepoint/cross stitch store, as well as two blocks away from Powells. How conveeeenient.
I did get my additional ball of Frilly:
It's not the same dyelot, but it's close enough that hopefully it will be hard to tell. It's an insurance ball, just in case I really don't have enough to make the collar and seam. Ideally it'll just be used for seams and maybe the collar.
I went to Knit/Purl, which is an awesome store. Just in sock yarns, they had Koigu, Lorna's Laces, Socks that Rock, and Nature's Palette. I was really really tempted, but I'd already ordered some Lorna's Laces in Tahoe, plus I should really wait until Black Sheep Gathering in June before I start making any more purchases.
What was that about purchases? Oh.
The Rowan 34 and Kid Silk Haze I got at Knit/Purl (along with the Frilly), while the IKs I got at Knit-Knot Studio. I knew that Knit-Knot had the Clover circular I needed for Birch, so I stopped by on my way to Greyhound. I noticed when I got there that they had the elusive Spring '05 IK, which you can't buy off of the IK website anymore, so I bought it and the Winter '05 IK, both of which have cute sock patterns that call for Koigu/Lorna's Laces, so I am all for that.
Plus, this arrived in the mail on Friday:
The Cassis Jaggerspun from TheKnitter.com for the Cherry Blossom shawl. I was worried that it wouldn't show up before I left for spring break, but it did and I'm relieved.
Oh, and even though I can't show the blog the socks I'm working on, I managed to do my first heel-flap and gusset correctly over the weekend. There are still little holes where the leg meets the flap, but that's something I can work on for the next sock.

Convenient indeed! The more I hear about Portland, the more I like the sound of it!
