First up is coffee. We have enjoyed excellent espresso and coffee. Rich and full. Unique beans roasted just right and prepared with finesse. This place can satisfy all my coffee snob tendencies. Ones that seems truly normal here. Decadent. 
Seattle is surrounded by water. We took the ferry to Bainbridge Island. Smooth ride without much of a crowd. The cloud cover kept the view of the mountains hidden. 
I'm wearing my Hazeline shawl knit from Breathless. My very first Shalimar knit ever. Thank you Anne Hanson for introducing us. I don't think I have ever had a day where so many people have commented on my knitting. First to comment was the chef's wife that sat us at the lunch table where I had a roasted veggie plate. Who knew eggplant could taste so good? Then the Canadian woman at the next table had to comment. She has a whole tub of yarn, but doesn't know how to knit yet.
Bainbridge Island is the home of Churchmouse Yarns and Teas. I think 3 knitters in that shop commented in the shawl. Knitters know enough to reach out and touch. This is a kind and welcoming shop that does a great job of partnering yarns and patterns. So friendly.
Then off to the bike shop. Hubby loves a good bike nerd discussion. Even the bike tech guy commented on the shawl. I love Bainbridge. Small town by the big city.
