YP Friday, Vacation Pr0n
Earlier this week, KG and I went on a whale watching tour in Lahaina. Afterwards, we stopped by this small needle arts shop that KG had earlier researched and found.
This shop is small and mostly focused on needlework crafts but has a small selecton of yarns including some lucious fibers hand dyed locally and inspired by the beauty of Maui from MauiYarns
Normally, I don't go for yellow (hello Zknitter) but I couldn't pass this skein up.
Pineapple Upsidedown cake:
I also couldn't resist these hand made needles, from Serendipity needles, handmade in Rhode Island.
Here's another of my favorite inspirational foods, mmmmmmmm Maui chips. I've been craving these for years and, while I've been able to find Maui chips, I have never found the same exact brand on the main land:
Sigh...the week has gone by quickly but I've had a wonderful time here in Maui. My next post will be from the Mainland, until then ALOHA!

The color of the yarn is great! Now you can consider it a "complete" vacation now that you've had a yarn purchase! ;)
PERFECT HI yarn!! And now I'm craving pineapple upside down cake--ha ha!
Ooooh that's some pretty stuff! What a great souvenir!
I see a theme in your blog... mellow yellow??? Sounds like you are having a nice vacation.
I love those needles, what a find!
Mmmmm, the chips looks almost as yummy as that yarn. I have a set of those palm tree needles too - aren't they fun!! Enjoy the rest of your vacation and safe journey home.
I am seriously jealous. Hawaii, yarn, handmade needles, and chips. wow. Did the yarn come with a pineapple? I see it peeking around the yarn in the photo.
Maui, yarn, and chips? Okay, now I'm *really* jealous!
Those needles are SO cute! Makes me wish I used straights more!
Dontcha love when you can find locally-dyed yarn while on vacation? I don't usually go for yellow either, but that color is lovely.
Yowza! So glad you are having fun! Man I wish I were ther too so I could have some of that Pineapple Upside down cake--it looks yummy:)
Oh great! I love pineapples and a yarn called that...I would have to get too! Cute needles!
Have a safe trip back! Enjoy the rest of the time!
Sounds like you're having a fantastic time! i'm so happy that you and KG are able to relax, enjoy a Mai Tai, and bathe in the sunrays!! Don't stay too long or you'll get spoiled.
How could you not have bought a yarn named that? I would have too.
What a perfect trip!
