I love Columbus!

Take the MIT Weblog Survey

My husband and son go to Origins every year and this year Helen and I went with them because they snagged a suite in the Hampton Inn right across from the convention centre. What a great location - and what a great job Columbus has done revitalising both downtown and the convention centre area ("Short North"). We were literally across the street from the convention centre, half a block from Barley's microbrew, half a block from North Market, and two blocks from a fabulous little Greek restaurant (the Happy Greek).

At any rate, on my way out of town I stopped at the erstwhile Wolfe Fiber Arts on 5th Avenue. It's now called Heavenly Creations Fiber Arts. The inventory was a little low but other than that, it was worth the stop. I got some more Kidprint mohair, a cute Fiber Trends pattern for a felted kitty for Helen, and, bonus, some awesome wool/hemp blend dyed by a woman in Athens, Ohio (Dzined). It's soft and pretty, and 400 yards of sport-weight yarn. I can't wait to see what project in Lavish Laces will work best with it. ;-)
