Jinxed

I have mentioned before that sailors tend to be superstitious and we are no exceptions. When I wrote my last blog post I considered whether it was wise to share our plans to leave Southport. Might I jinx our opportunity to leave?  Turns out I did. When we checked the weather early yesterday morning we saw that the forecast had changed and we would have NE then E wind in the mid-teens for most of the day. That meant we would have wind on the nose and would be bashing into waves all day long. Not a fun trip. We decided not to go. All is not lost, though. My friend April—who inspired me to knit when I saw the gorgeous sweater she was knitting last year—sent an email telling me that there is a yarn store in Southport. We walked there this morning and I found some beautiful yarn that I plan to use to make a new sweater. 

Angelwing Needle Arts is a great store. I am new enough to knitting that I don’t automatically check for yarn stores wherever I go. Thanks to April, I found this. 

Adding this to my stash.
