A year ago my husband and I spent a weekend in Asheville, NC and we had such a great time that we decided to go again this year. On our way to Asheville we stopped in the town of Black Mountain so I could visit the Black Mountain Yarn Shop:
and buy yarn for a future striped sweater project:
We stayed at the same B&B as last year (Carolina Bed an Breakfast) which was once again fabulous!
But unlike last year when the temps were near 100, the temps were in the mid-80s so we were able to open the windows in our room and get a nice cross-breeze.
They also have the most amazing food: a delicious 2 course breakfast, hors d'oeuvres in the evening and a dessert left in our room while we were out at dinner:
Downtown was only a ~15 min walk away and with all of the rain we've had, the
yards we walked by were green and lush.
Saturday morning we walked into downtown so like last year, I could check out
Some of the yarn is arranged by color:
The next morning we set out for a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway and
went through some interesting tunnels:
We had planned to take a short hike on a trail just off the parkway but turned
around when we ran into dense fog:
So we headed back into downtown and spent the afternoon drinking coffee and reading in this amazing bookstore:
Since the weather was so nice, we had dinner outside at this restaurant (Carmels) and watched interesting people go by:
It was a great weekend of relaxing, reading and knitting!
