Field trip-Natural Stitches-Pittsburgh, Pa.

 Good evening woolies. What a great day. A field trip is one of the best ways to clear out the creative cobwebs and get some new perspective. In the Pittsburgh, Pa. area we are fortunate to have a good selection of independent knit and quilt shops. Today was Knit shop day. DDIL  (as of 2016 an ex-dil, now there's a story, twit!) and I visited this shop in the East Side section of Pittsburgh. Currently undergoing major growth, this once fading area is being reborn. Nabisco used to have a large factory here, now Google is moving in. Multiple small retail shops have taken up residence including this charming yarn shop. Easy to find with plenty of free parking, this shop is sure to please.
