Jen has asked to learn more about knitting and another friend, Michelle, is working on a baby blanket of her own. I'm thrilled to have someone to talk knitting or crochet with. My baby blanket is coming along and I'm about done with the 2nd skein. Yesterday I measured the length and came up with about 7". I think I have enough yarn to finish the blanket. If not! Then I have to do a trip to Taos and the
"Taos Sunflower" http://stores.taossunflower.com/StoreFront.bok or
"LaLana Wools" http://www.lalanawools.com/
to get some more yarn. :-) I just love those stores. Not to mention getting to make an overnight trip out of it. I guess I'll go ahead and mention my favorite B&B in Taos -
"Casa Benavides" http://www.taos-casabenavides.com/
and a few of my favorite restaurants -
"Apple Tree" http://www.appletreerestaurant.com/
"Graham's Grille" http://www.grahamsgrille.com/
"Joseph's Table" http://www.josephstable.com/ is supposed to be just wonderful, but we haven't tried it as yet. Next trip it is a definite must for us.
Our last trip we tried a new place called the "Hongry Gator". WOW! The food was great. Loved it so much that we ate there twice in 3 days. They've been open for a few months now and are gaining a loyal clientele.
I ran over to another of my favorite knitting shops here in Colorado Springs this morning. Knitter's Kove - http://www.knitters-kove.com/
Found a few new books that would be nice to have, along with a great selection of yarn. I'm trying to find a holder for all of my knitting needles and crochet hooks. The holder needs to be large enough to hold the longest needles and hooks along with the shortest and keep everything organized. I have a feeling that I'm going to need to make it myself. Most organizers that I find don't hold enough and are to pricey. Oh well, another thing on the list of "To Do's".
