Eye Candy & Saturday Sky

By ScoutJ | Posted in Albuquerque/New Mexico, Balloon Fiesta, Eye Candy Friday, Saturday Sky, Yarn Pr0n, charity knitting |

I bring you both today. My eye candy is this handspun skein of misshawklet’s I bought to make a scarf for the Red Scarf Project. Isn’t it beautiful? I’m going to make a lengthwise scarf with the other handspun I have from her so it will be red with some blue. I will make it shorter and wider so either a girl or guy can wear it. A guy can have a teensy bit of nylon sparkle can’t he?

And Saturday sky at 7:45am on 9.30.06. Balloon Fiesta starts next weekend!

Taos Wool Festival is next weekend as well, which I’m going to miss again this year. I’m really bummed but there is no way I can do it. I’m organizing a neighborhood breakfast, both kids have soccer games and then I have one on Sunday. I can’t miss any of that. Maybe next year?

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

    The skein is beautiful, just fabulous, in fact. How fun it will be
    to knit! And your sky dotted with baloons is wonderful, too.
    What a great time of year!

    We’re missing Taos this year too - just not in the budget. Somehow it makes me feel better to know that I won’t miss seeing you and Chris though! :)

    That 2nd picture is amazing!! Just not the year for Taos all around, eh? Alas… There goes my T for the ABC-Along, dammit.

    So am *I* now the only one going to the Taos Wool Festival? And I didn’t even know about it until a few weeks ago!

    Nice pics by the way!

    I’m not going to Taos either. Cody’s schedule’s getting all funkified and we’re really tightening the budget for Christmas and the Cruise. Boo. That yarn is great though!

    I’m just so envious of all your hot air balloon views. I did have the good fortune to take a trip in one, years ago. A wonderful experience, that’s for sure!

    If you look up the word gorgeous in the dictionary, that picture will be
    there. Because it’s ALL gorgeous!
