Yarn Store!
I found a yarn store! Knitting isn't really a popular hobby in this area of Spain because it never really gets that cold so I was extremely happy to find this little store. I found a pattern for a scarf I want to make for my friends Tony and Josiah so I walked in today after my class was over and I got to say, the whole experience kind of crushed my confidence in my Spanish speaking skills. Knitting terminology is something that I never thought to learn in Spanish and then with the difference beween the metric system and the needle sizes, I was totally lost. It took me a good 15-20 minutes to figure out how to tell the man working that I needed needles let alone what size I need. Thankfully he was really nice and helpful and I eventually got all the supplies I needed.

How fun! Did they have good stuff. I can't wait to visit. Maybe you need to spend more time shopping to work on your Spanish. Mom
