And I'm Finally Back!

Mom and I just got home last night from a three day excursion to Denver and Greely, where we did plenty of shopping and toured the college of my choice, University of Northern Colorado.

The first yarn store we went to was The Lamb Shoppe, and I was slightly disapppointed. There was TONS of selection, but the prices were a little bit more than what I was used to. (Made me really appreicate my LYS-Colorado Fiber Arts). There were tons of books, plenty of sock yarn, and lots of that Debbie Bliss yarn that I'm going to ask Emily about soon. Mom and I bought an Americano, took a few pictures, and then left, on to do more SHOPPING!!

The yarn store we went to in Greely was called Wild n Wooly and I was horribly disappointed with it! THEY HAD NO CASCADE 220!!! When I asked the crazy old lady who ran the store about Cascade 220, she said "Oh, Hobby Lobby has that." Any decent fiber enthusiast will know that Hobby Lobby does NOT carry Cascade 220. Either way, I bought some Sockotta sock yarn and a pattern that will be cast aside until I finish all the other projects I have on the needles.

UNC was absolutely great! It's afforadble, the professors are great, and the campus is beautiful. Not to mention, the food is FANTASTIC! Despite not being horribly anxious to graduate and grow up, I'm so excited to go away to college.

I'm nearing the end of my second Fetching glove, and I will have plenty of yarn left over to probably start making the THIRD glove.

The Stitch and Quilt expo starts today but Mom and I probably aren't going until tomorrow. Oh well, I'm just so excited anyway!

Until next time!!!
