Taos Sunflower is closing their retail store to focus soley on their web store. They’re putting a lot of yarn on sale! Laura and I drove out to add to our stash.
We both bought the same brand of yarn-Schaeffer Nancy yarn. Here’s mine:
I love handpainted yarn. This skein is 600 yards. We also got a free pattern for a shawl using this yarn. A close up:
I also bought two Noro pattern books-Noro Knits and Pure Noro.
If you live in Taos I say check out the sale. I got good deals.
After petting my yarn I played with Sieben. He’s over 70 pounds now.

Abbey got me a gift to cheer me up after all my knitting related stress-the book
At Knit’s End.
I’ve been reading the Yarn Harlot’s blog for awhile but had never read her books. This one is great. I’m now reading another one of hers, Knitting Rules. She talks about how the obsessive knitter redefines knitting time. Like standing in the grocery line transforms into sock knitting time.
This is an excellent idea. I’ve now started crafting in the car.
Last time I went to the Taos knitting group I somehow forgot my knitting bag at home. I was annoyed at first. Then I realized I had a knit vest in the car I had snagged from the free box for recycling the yarn.
Instead of knitting I brought in the vest and started the frogging process. I haven’t crocheted something in awhile so I decided to crochet myself a tam. I haven’t made myself one in years. It’s relaxing to make something in the car. Makes car trips just zoom by.
