Along our way we're going to stop in at Briggs & Little, Canada's oldest woolen mill. I'm excited because I've never been there! I love their wool, it's very affordable and felts nice and slow which makes for less felting disasters. I think they have a bunch of new colours which are not even shown on their site. I'm giddy with anticipation!
I hope to hit a few LYS's. My wish list consists of Fiber Trends Needle Felting Starter Kit, the book "Pursenalities", and roving. A few skeins would be lovely (and necessary). This is an economy trip, so I'll have to be very picky! :-)

Have a wonderful wonderful trip!! I adore road trips...especially with my hubby driving and my knitting to pass the time. Excited to hear about it and see you new stash!!
I've never been to Briggs & Little either - should plan a trip there sometime...
Have a safe and fun time on your trip!!
Hi Janice, thanks!! I'm sitting here at my mom's computer...everyone is asleep! I've discovered a new benefit to knitting...it makes a 15 hour car drive fly by! I didn't even accomplish a lot, I think I'm even going to frog what I started, but knitting sure makes a long trip so much more pleasant. Oh and I'll be posting pics about any additions to my stash!
Shelley, you MUST get to Briggs & Little. It's not a pretty location as far as the building goes, but I've gone into 3 yarn shops since being in B&L and I haven't found much to get excited about. I'll be posting pics of the inside of the B&L shop. They sell their skeins for $3.75!!!! I plan to go back sometime after Christmas.
Have a safe and fun trip. Hope you get some yummy wool.
Have a good one - and buy lots and lots... x
