This little piggy went to Wool Maket...

All I can say is "oink, oink," cause I'm a little yarn piggie. We are back from the Estes Park Wool Market where we had a marvy time. No seriously, SOOO fun.

First of all, there were so many choices...maybe too many. I was paralyzed by indecision the first hour we were there. I would just stand there mumbling to myself, "Maybe red, no purple, no aqua-marine...Wait what are my feelings about teal?"

Once I got focused, gained my center, I was able to make a real dent in my yarn budget. If you guys are interested, I'll showcase the yarns I picked up as well as their intended use throughout the week. Aren't you excited?

And if fabbity fab yarn wasn't enough, there were ANIMALS...

Oh what a day. How could one unwind from all this excitement? Here's a suggestion:

Knitting on the patio of the Stanley Hotel. Erin and I splurged and stayed in this historic hotel for our one-night stay in Estes Park. It is like way old and way charming. Oh, and it inspired Stephen King to write "The Shining". Just creepy enough to be cool, I say.

Estes Park--what joy, what bliss. How could a girl contain her excitement...or stay within budget?

Can't wait to see close ups of your haul! I can see a lot of pretty colors and yummy textures in there. What is that gigantic hank? You have definitely peeked my curiosity :-)
