Anyone else going? I have wanted to get up there to the festival since we’ve moved here but it’s always in the middle of soccer season. This year I’m going to miss Supergirl’s game so I can get out of town with a few girlfriends to check it out. I have friends who live there so I have a place to stay which makes it nice. I guess October is the Wool Festival month for me this year since I will be going to Rhinebeck a few weeks after Taos. I’ll be all wooled out!
Also, I dyed a few skeins of this new colorway yesterday. I’m calling it “hope.” I am more than happy to dye more too. I am out about 4 weeks on all orders so if you don’t mind the wait, just let me know and I can put it up in the shop for you and get you on the dye queue. You can have any fiber dyed in it. I am stocked with all weights of yarn and have some superwash merino roving too. Just look here to see what I have available.
Click to see the first batch of pictures I took. I’m beyond tired, due to allergies still kicking my arse, so no detailed post about Taos. I will tell you that I now hold in my possession some of the most amazing fiber I have EVER seen in my life. La Lana Wools. That’s all I have to say. It was overcast when I took those pictures so imagine all of that 100 times brighter. I called Pippi from the store and was just stumbling over my words in trying to explain to her what I was seeing. And if you haven’t read yet, go congratulate her. She can finally announce the details about the new book she’s writing. I’m so proud of her.
I might be laying a bit low over the next few days. I’m feeling a tad bit burned out. It’s probably just the lack of sleep but I’m feeling overwhelmed with the amount of work I need to churn out over the next few weeks on top of a number of other personal things going on. Maybe just a full night of sleep will rejuvenate me? I dunno. I hope so. I need my mojo back STAT. Have you seen it?

Did any of you happen to notice that this
coincides with this?
Well Chris and I did. We thought it could be a pretty fun weekend. I know there is Rhinebeck but maybe some of you would be interested in this too? (By no means am I saying not to do Rhinebeck but some of you could drive here!) People could fly in on October 5th or 6th and drive up to Taos and we could all meet during the day on Saturday and maybe do a big dinner? Sunday, everyone could drive back down to Albuquerque and we could wake up early and watch the Balloons take off on the 9th before going? You know? Just a thought. Anyone interested? So many of you keep telling me you miss NM and wish you could come back here …… I know my Stitch ‘n’ Bitch gang has talked about going up there. Why not make it an even bigger group!? And hey, you could even visit Village Wools while here. We’ll be in our new space by then too. Any takers?
