Hello and almost bye from Kansas City !!! 4 hrs until I leave for airport to start my 30 hour journey for home.
This is my second time visiting Kansas city , both times for work.
Interesting fact about Kansas city is it lies between two states -Missouri and Kansas. I go to work and stay in different cities :)
I couldn't have asked for a better weather to visit...my cold weather loving body enjoyed it so much.
I got to see a blizzard with snow, super hot sunny days, winds upto 50mph and rain..all in 12 days. And its snowing as I write the blog.
This time I got to do one of my most favourite things - attend a craft meetup at a local craft cafe when travelling to a new country. I have done that before twice in past, I just realised may be I didn't share about it.
Last time I visited Kansas city , I came with colleagues so didn't think of doing my hobby stuff...however this time I started looking up yarn /craft stores, meetups a month in advance.
I asked my one and only local friend if she would like to attend a meetup, she agreed. So last Saturday we drove to this quaint yarn store who hosts social hours regularly. The day I went there, there was a trunk show.

To my surprise , it was a big turn out. We almost ran out of space to sit. 20 + people sat in this beautiful cafe knitting, crocheting , chatting for 2 hours. Oh I loved it!!!
I have talked about attending meetups during my travels, and people have told me its a novel .. most people don't even think of that. My friend was suprised to know how many craft stores I knew her city.
After the meetup , we went for lunch...I will cover that in my next post..
Wish me luck for a long journey home.
A yarn shop! I've only walked into one, back when I returned to crochet and was crocheting twin size afghans for all my nieces and nephews, 6(!), and there was a group of about 3 or 4. They didn't say a word to me, so I looked around and left. I really enjoyed crocheting for about 18 months, but had to quit, because I'd break out in bad hives every time I worked on a project. So, I'm back into cross stitch again after a 20 year hiatus and loving it! Thanks for the travel blog! Have a great day!
