LYS 2012 Yarn Store Tour

Don't they say if you suspect you've lost your mind you probably haven't? I hope that's true because I'm pretty sure I've lost my mind. I decided yesterday to attempt the  LYS yarn tour of 2012. That's a tour of 21 yarn shops scattered up and down Puget Sound from nearly the Canadian border all the way to Renton,WA which is south of Seattle. I have four days to visit all 21 shops and it will include driving nearly three hundred miles, spending two nights at my in-laws and two ferry rides.

I am an introverted person and do not put myself  "out there" easily, but I am going into at least twelve of these shops alone. I'm going to ride one of the ferries alone, which I have never done in the 32 years I have lived up here.  My mother-in-law is riding along on one day and my husband is going on the last day, but the other two days I am going alone. I am nervous and excited at the same time. I'm afraid I'll get lost or won't find a parking place or any number of other minor disasters I could think of. But I'm going to do it. I'll let you know how it goes. I'll post from the road with an app I've never used before, so that should be interesting.

What do I get if I complete the tour? The chance to enter a drawing. That's it. Oh, and free knitting or crocheting patterns at each of the shops. Maybe some door prizes. See? Crazy. But it's mostly just to say I did it. It'll be fun. I hope.
