There ought to be some way I find out about new yarn shops! Oh, that's right...the Bay Area Knitters group on Ravelry. That's how I found out about the last two.
Now there's one in Princeton-by-the-Sea. My mom told me about it, and we're going there to check it out tomorrow. There's also a bookstore in the same plaza, so what a bonanza!

Mini Mochi Scarf
Fun knit with very little finishing. No blocking and only minimal trimming of ends; you work in the ends as you pick up to knit the mitered squares. Mini Mochi's color changes are long enough that they are almost long enough for an individual square. The three colorways I used had a lot of colors in common, so the finished scarf is not as strikingly striped or colored as it could have been. But the colors blend well together.
Mini Mochi wasn't all that great to knit with, though. It splits and gets fuzzy...don't think I would use it again.
