And a few skeins of their wool-mohair DK yarn (Dos Mujeres), along with a skein of Lupine-dyed silk-wool, to make an artistic colorwork hat and mittens set for the winter. (Have I mentioned that I'm moving back to Boston for a year, starting in September? I'm not excited about it, but it does give a reason to knit mittens.)
I haven't cast on for anything yet -- still in the dreaming, sketching, and planning stages -- but I had one more fiber-related activity to fit in last night. My friend and I sat out in the evening, watching the thunder clouds over Taos Mountain, drinking wine and carding alpaca fiber.
It's no wonder that whenever I come to Taos, I never want to leave!

Ooooh...such pretty yarns! And, that last picture looks so awesome and inviting! I love the feel of a thunderstorm in the summer...even just the clouds.
Taos is very beautiful. All of New Mexico is in it's own way. Just wanted to tell you I really enjoy your blog, too. I dream to create like you do, some day.
awe , boston will be a blast for a year, think of the new yarn shops you can visit, as well as maybe hot new classes with our east coast bloggers, teachers, fiber addicts.
A beautiful setting for a glass of wine and a place to knit! WOW!!!
The yarn is delicious looking - love that color! we just returned from a trip to Atlanta - visited 3 yarn shops and I am afraid that I was very bad!

Beautiful!
oohh, I would love to be in one of those chairs, I can practically smell it. One of my favorite things about NM is that smell of dry air, pinon and sage.
I can't blame you for not being overly excited about Boston, but it is a great place to be a knitter.
