Bucksport trip

So the rock shop was very cool. Russ added to his fossil collection and Adam found some trinkets. On the way back, we stopped at the H.O.M.E. Co-op gift shop. I've never been to a co-op before. Lots of hand-made crafts - everything from amazing knits and crocheted items, fabulous pottery, right down to laminated Maxine cartoons with a magnet stuck on the back. I saw a hand-knitted sweater that almost brought me to tears it was so beautifully made. Too bad it was wool and $100 (not that it wouldn’t have been worth it). The yarn needed to make it probably cost at least $75. I am inspired now (again) to try another sweater. I bought lots of gorgeous burgundy yarn for my first (and last) sweater, and it didn’t quite turn out the way I imagined it (at least it wasn’t as bad as the pink hot water bottle holder/sock monstrosity).
