Road trip: day 3
Morning at the Wang consisted of music videos and then a very large breakfast at our new favourite cafe. 
Mmmm, breakfast chips!
The first thing that drew us to Scribblers were the black and white tables, so TSS was a little disappointed by their only decent pepper-grinder...
We went by a yarn store and I saw a felted pear that was far inferior to the beautiful ones a certain lovely lady makes, so i took a snap for proof.
We then went to Wangaratta Woolen Mills,
where there are a lot of signs to build the anticipation. 
the yarn fumes overcame me and I didnt think to take a photo of the inside of the shop... but be to fair, this is what we bought and it's a fairly decent reflection of what was once in the shops :p
bag in middle and left are mine...
wasn't TSS a good girl? Her pruchases weren't even for her!
We then tore back towards Canberra, swinging by everything remotely resembling an op-shop on the way. The most memorable thing we saw would have to be this amazing sweater kit in Wodonga - with a pre-knit yoke!
We didnt buy it, it smelled a little like moths and by that stage our purses were all a little light.
We made in to Canbbera by about 6.30 and collapsed in a heap.
BEST. TRIP. EVER.

Pre knit yoke is brilliant - who needs to do that pesky fair isle themselves anyway?!
Keeping in mind I haven't had my afternoon coffee yet - for some reason as I scrolled down your pics I thought I was looking at a GIANT felted pear. About person height. Which would be awesome. Nicely spotted, anyway.
