Asheville, Anyone?

So this Friday I'm flying to Asheville, NC, for my yearly college roommate reunion. We started out rotating to each others' houses every year and taking new babies as they came along (one year there were 3 babies, all within a few months of each other - what the hell were we thinking?), then we got older and smarter and started going more for destinations without children. The year we turned 40, we added an extra weekend in New York City and ate at two Bobby Flay restaurants - yum! Here's one of the earlier years at Amelia's lake house - we were missing Durema and Leigh. (Tidbit - this is my natural hair color - not too bad - why did I start all this wretched highlighting? Oh yeah, Drew said he didn't know why I called myself a blonde when my hair was brown...ouch.)


Just to be an equal opportunity photo poster, here are Durema and Leigh at my beach house a couple of years ago...or was it 3 years ago? Oooh, and that pink top was the first thing I ever reviewed on Pattern Review!


So back to the story. Does anyone have knowledge of great fabric or knitting shops in Asheville? We're staying in a cabin and touring the downtown area, and I found a couple of yarn places, but maybe someone from NC can give me some advice.

We're also drinking wine and hanging out in our hot tub, but you can see we don't need no advice 'bout that!


Oh, wait, I found one from the beach of all of us - that was 4 years ago! Where does this time go?


Okay, back to my knitting...or my Natalie Chanin Craftsy class - almost finished with it!
