San Francisco Yarn Crawl

So a bunch of Ravelers got together last Sunday for a yarn crawl in San Francisco. It is pretty amazing that a group of women who have never met in person previously can get together and make it seem to a muggle that we've known each other forever. We started at Urban Knitting Studio in Hayes Valley. Surprisingly I had never been there. It is a fantastic space. The knitting circle area is right in front with a ton of natural light. The store was well organized and the wall of Manos was pretty amazing.

Next we moved over to Artfibers. We had some time to kill before the store opened so we grabbed a quite bite nearly. When we got it, it was pure heaven. I hadn't been there before and I was totally overwhelmed by their beautiful luxury yarns. And surprisingly, many of the yarns were pretty affordable. They only sell their own yarns, so the selection was unique and delicious! I'm trying to control my purchases, so instead I bought a little something-something for my Ravelry secret pal. I think she'll be so excited! After Artfibers, the group continued on to Noe Knit but I headed home. I'll have to hit Noe Knit another time.

I didn't take any pictures, but here are some links to other people's posts about the event. Gypsyknitter just did a survey to see what kind of interest there might be in additional get-togethers. It is amazing how Ravelry helped this event come together! We'd probably never have met each other otherwise!

I had such a blast meeting you. :) I always enjoy meeting other knitters, but this was the best group I've ever had the pleasure of hanging out with. :) I hope we get a chance to get together again soon!
