  12. Ravelry: Textile-Lovers Turkey, Land of the Paperback Romance →

    There’s a nice article featured on Ravelry right now, about a visit to Turkey from a textile lover’s point of view, where the writer seems to have gotten a little bit carried away.  For best results, read it out loud.

    People always ask what country in all my travels surprized me the most and I respond without hesitation: Turkey. The country totally ambushed me with delight and amazement, leaving me craving for more.

    But wait, you see a gleaming store heaped with Turkish delight that your feet won’t let you pass. Though you’d never been much of a Turkish deligh fan up until now, everything looks so delectable. You step inside and the owner greets you with a tray of free samples. One bite melting in you mouth with vanilla laced with other intoxicating flavors brings home the fact that you’ve never truly known Turkish delight until now.

    And that’s about when I completely lost it and had to stop for a drink. Maybe the author should consider a side career?
