Off to the Wool Market!


What, you may ask, is that fuzzy thing in the window? 
That is Loopy (aka Humphrey - a kid at the reststop renamed him) LLama.
I should introduce Loopy, he is knit from alpaca and sheep wool (leftovers from the first Sheep to Shawl project) following a Fiber Trends pattern.
And here we are entering Colorado.  Estes Park or bust!





As I'm typing this, I'm thinking how particularly fitting my byline is - I am certainly looking for wool, it not flax.



To be sure there have been many photos taken between these two.  JoAnne and I are enjoying a cup of yummy, Kind Coffee and watching the Big Thompson roll past.

We went up the tram to the lookout.  What a beatiful day to enjoy God's creation and feel his majesty.



More pictures coming later.  Wool Market starts on Saturday.
Sunday, at 8:00AM MST, sharp we begin to card, spin and weave.
