We arrived in Taos, New Mexico, Tuesday evening, after three days of leisurely driving through Texas and Northern New Mexico. We crossed plains, grasslands with lonely mountains, and finally mountains. It is a beautiful drive.
I taught Slip Stitch Color Knitting Wednesday, and the ladies in my class were relaxed and willing to try something new. We had a good time together.
At lunch, some of us slipped off to the legendary LaLana Wools. La Lana specializes in dyeing custom mill-spun yarns. There are a few handspuns there, too. Here’s a tree of Phat Silk, a merino and silk blend. Look at the gorgeous colors! And here’s a table covered with skeins of Bombyx Silk.
The shop has lots of patterns designed for use with their yarns. You should go, if you can.
Here are Crazy Polymer Patchwork Buttons that we made in class today.
