Nestucca Bay Yarns across the street. When I'm on vacation, I try to buy stuff I can't find at home. So I bought several skeins of 2 ply from Imperial Stock Ranch, in Kingfisher Blue.
My plan is to make the Neck Down Jacket from Knitting Pure and Simple. Yes, yet another pattern from them. I swear I'm going to branch out, but I keep coming back to their patterns. Simple and easy to follow directions.
The same day, we also visited Yarn for all Seasons in Newport. There, I picked up a couple of skeins of Socks that Rock in Downpour.
Vacation was wonderful, and I hated to come home. My sister and her little boy came from Portland to spend a few days at the beach with us. Here are Catie and Danny enjoying the weather and the beach.
Next trip, we're pondering it being a "grown-up only" trip, and leaving the kids at home to stay here. But which room to choose from??

I have to confess, I just don't get knitting socks--why? seems like very little payoff for the work.
I'm working on a dress for my impending arrival's homecoming--it's the first fingering weight project I've ever done & may well be the last. but she will look darling in it!
I love that part of the coast. We stayed at a hotel in Depoe Bay last summer right on the ocean that was lovely. Your post makes me want to go back again!
That hotel looks spectacular; I would have an impossible time picking one room.
