I got a case of the Estes...

Oh yes, I caught the Estes in the worst way...so Erin and I are going to Colorado tomorrow in search of the only known cure--the Estes Park Wool Market.

So I hear the best treatment for the Estes is equal parts buying yarn, petting alpacas, buying yarn, horseback riding, buying yarn, meeting other knit-bloggers, buying yarn...okay, maybe not exactly equal parts.

It's not going to be all play when we are in Estes Park, I have work to do...I have to find yarn for the following projects:

1. Counterpane Carpet Bag from Handknit Holidays, by Melanie Falick
2. Hourglass Sweater from Last-Minute Knitted Gifts, by Joelle Hoverson
3. Ms. Marigold from zephyr style
4. Clapotis from knitty.com

And countless other projects.

I know, I am out of control. Don't you judge me...

Talk to y'all when I get back. And if you are very good, I will show you what I got. Ta!

PS - My sister/roommate Erin is having a contest over at Girl Who Knits, so go and enter! You may have a fab prize in your future.

The Hourglass is on my To Knit List too. So, um, have fun, your highness. Jeez. I've caught a case of the Estes, but I have to go to OGDEN to cure it. Will it work? We'll see.

I used a soy silk for my Clapotis and LOVE IT! It is super soft and easy to knit.

Riding and Knitting, two of my favorite things!

Have a great time! :-)

Buying large amounts of yarn with (or without) a purpose in mind is not a sign of being out of control.
If you make a conscious effort to no longer add to the stash.... well now that is being out of control! Seek help immediately if this should every happen to you.
Love your blog.
