Best Little Yarn Crawl in Texas 2010

YarnCrawl_logo4c

Tomorrow marks the start of the 4th annual Hill Country Yarn Crawl! There are 11 participatng shops in the Hill County area, from teeny Paige to San Antonio! I'm hopping on the Sunday bus that is meeting Hill Country Weavers in Austin then going to San Antonio, Comfort, Fredericksburg, Boerne and Horsehoe Bay. Need to decide on next sock project for bus ride.

I think I'll visit The Knitting Nest during my lunch tomorrow and of course Yarnorama on Saturday.

If you're on the road to Paige form Austin, or vice versa, be sure to stop in historic downtown Elgin and visit Sustainable Fibers, formally the Texas Fiber Mill at 110 B South Main Street

No, this isn't my Monday morning battle cry, though it is 8:00 and I am still in my Pj's, I'm talking about eggs. Yesterday morning when weighing my breakfast options, I pulled out the asparagus that I had received in my CSA box. I actually arrived at the farm as KW was still harvesting. I chatted with him as he walked, knife in hand, through a field of grasses, he would bend down every sentence or so and come up with a tender spear of asparagus. When he had harvested a good handful he banded them together an handed them to me. Seriously, I have never seen such tender sweet asparagus spears in my life.

So, for breakfast, what I came up with was a hash brown nest with asparagus, garden fresh tomatoes, scrambled eggs with hollandaise, and english muffins with orange honey butter. I decided to go scrambled instead of poached to use the whites left over from the hollandaise. Those extra whites sure made some fluffy scrambled eggs. And I might add, a wonderful way to watch stage 7 of Le Tour de France.

I used this easy hollandaise recipe.
