Gail Knits

So, I think it’s official. I have decided that every time I travel out of town, I must visit at least ONE Local Yarn Shop (LYS), take some pictures, buy some stuff and come home and blog about it. It just feels like the right thing to do as a knitter (wow, I’m calling myself a knitter!) and also, it is also soooo much fun.

This time, my travel brings me to Gail Knits, a nice little shop somewhere out in the dessert. No, I’m just kidding, I don’t think it was even close to a desert, but it did take me an awfully long time to get there in the middle of Las Vegas rush hour. Plus, all I had to do was to listen to this very sexy Australian guy telling me which way to turn and how to get there.

No!!! I didn’t find an Australian boyfriend, it was just my very very useful GPS system. I’m such a dork! (ps: I picked the voice and the accent – his name was Lee from Australia!)

But anyways, I just notice from this picture, that either Gail (the owner) secretly runs a kick boxing studio in the back, or the word kick boxing was from an old sign. However, her shop sure did not smell like sweaty jockstraps and boxing gloves! (there I go again, another poor attempt to crack a joke!)

And how lucky, I happened to stop in during knit night…….

And like any other place, it’s always good to support the LYS’s in the area and buy a little something. I know, I know, I said no stash, but it’s just the experience of buying “imported” yarn, imported from another state!
