One of my planned destinations on my trip to Oklahoma was SWAK Knits in Guthrie. I had visited many years ago, and I was really glad to find they are still there. The shop is bursting full of all kinds of goodies, including a bath tub full of yarn!
I picked up some new driftwood needles and colorful yarn, which the shop owner, Keely, caked for me.
The gold is Blue Sky Alpacas Highland Wool, and the blue and green is Mrs. Crosby’s Steamer Trunk Merino in Peacock.
I love marigold. It’s one of my favorite colors, but I never wear it since it doesn’t look very good on me. I couldn’t help myself with this yarn, though. I have two skeins and I’m thinking of making mittens, since I can look at that gorgeous color on my hands!
I’m not sure what the Mrs. Crosby’s is destined to be.
The boys found some treasures of their own at one of the antique stores.
There is one more yarn store in OKC to visit!

Purple doesn’t suit me, makes my dark circles under my eyes stand out…does it stop me loving it and wearing it pretty much everyday ? Nope. If a colour brings you joy that’s what matters to me, so stick with the marigold. Ooh that peacock is lovely.

Oh I’d like a bathtub full of yarn! Well, I suppose I could empty my stash into the tub but it wouldn’t be the same.
It looks like you’re having fun! Enjoy:)

I just pulled out my Lykke needles out for a project, I had forgotten how amazing they are. I would love a bathtub full of yarn.

If I put all my yarn in the bath I bet it wouldn’t look that pretty. I just want to sink my hands into it and squish it all.
