Melanie loses luggage. There was yarn in that bag. It was a tragedy.

Melanie and Deborah plan a trip to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival. Yay!

They also have a visit with listener DebInAtlanta. Deb’s daughter, The Diva, puts us all to shame with a lesson on politeness. Then, we bring back the word Cupidity.

Deborah visits with the yarn company Manos Del Uruguay at their head office in Montevideo and in the small town Fraile Muerto. Deborah also completes two Saroyan.

The Savvy Girls are on a wool-venture! Together! In Chile!

Deborah has to work during the week, but the rest of the time is for having adventures!
They visit the desert oasis of San Pedro de Atacama, where there is adventure, alpaca wool, and vicuna – roaming temptingly in the desert mountains. They float in the salty sea, search for flamingos in the desolate plains of the Altiplano, and play in a field of volcanic geysers. There is so much to do that there isn’t even time for knitting! (*gasp!*)

Next, it’s back to Santiago for food, culture, and an orgy of wool-buying… the Savvy Girls discover Cuenta Puntos and Araunacia yarn.

Nobody makes friends like the Savvy Girls; and their new pals, Alejandra and Winnie, invite them to Vina del Mar for the weekend. Deborah is thrilled to find another avid knitter, and Melanie is happy to have more adventures!
