Then, there was yarn. Mr. Batty and I walked to Sheep to Shore, a yarn store with a great selection and a very friendly owner. See the skein of Madeline Tosh sock yarn I'm holding? Its big brother, a skein of worsted-weight in the same colorway, came home with me. This is my one and only yarn purchase since December. I'm on a roll.
Unlike other islands I've been to, Nantucket has a lot to offer to vegetarians. The food was excellent wherever we went, but one of the highlights for me was the tofu scramble below, served for breakfast at the Even Keel Cafe. Yes, it's vegan. It's delicious. Yum.
And... a silly hat. I've seen a knitted version of this on rav. Look, the shark is eating my head! Aaaaaah!
There was much beach-walking and knitting, so stay tuned for Part 2. I don't think the pictures would all fit in one post -- it would take forever to load.

Glad to hear you had a restful vacation on Nantucket. The yarn looks yummy and so does the tofu scramble!
Ha! I didn't know there was a yarn shop on the island!!! That wasn't there when I was last......
It looks so fun! I have always wanted to go to Nantucket!
I love vacations that are that relaxing--it's almost exhausting! Ha ha!
Ooh, I love the shark hat!
Sounds like just the right mix of relaxing and fun. Yeah!
I am so jealous - Nantucket has been my dream vacation ever since reading the S.M. Stirling 'Island in the Sea of Time' novels.
It's vacation yarn. It doesn't count as stash!
(Yay for vacations!)
