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.
ReplyDeleteTaos 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.
ReplyDeleteawe , 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.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful setting for a glass of wine and a place to knit! WOW!!!
ReplyDeleteThe 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!
ReplyDeleteoohh, 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.
ReplyDeleteI can't blame you for not being overly excited about Boston, but it is a great place to be a knitter.
