Souvenir yarn

We visited Colorful Yarns in Centennial, Colorado when we visited our daughter last month and I bought some souvenir yarn all in fingering weight.

Two hand-dyed in the Denver area and one from Texas.

Knerd String is located in Castle Rock, Colorado.  I loved the greens and purples in the Mr. Greensleeves colorway.  As this is 100% wool, it will become a shawl of some sort.

Andromeda‘s Grumpy Gus is a special colorway created just for the Colorful Yarns shop.  This hank of blues and greens will become socks or a shawl in a yet-to-be-determined pattern.

I had to have the grey and touch of purple Chasing Rabbits Fern yarn in Tarnish hand-dyed in Amarillo, Texas.

I’m a sucker for greys and other neutral colors though I also like color…it just depends on my mood and the project on which I’m working.

Do you buy souvenir yarn, fabric or other things on your travels?

Annual pedis

We back last week from visiting our daughter and family in Colorado so I’ll be telling you a bit about our trip over the next few days.

Last year I took my daughter the girls (they are 10 years old) out for pedicures when we visited them so we decided to do that again this year.

My one granddaughter got a skeleton on her big toe and I got a pumpkin.

My daughter picked a beautiful autumn color and no nail art but the other grand got a ghost one her big toe.

I want to make this an annual event when we visit.
