After the Boston trip, I spent a couple days in Houston before going to Colorado for Easter. (Ah, the jet-set life!) While visiting family in my hometown of Pueblo, I always visit Colorado Fiber Arts. This is one of the most appealing yarn shops I've ever been in. It's in a gorgeous old building, the atmosphere is inviting, the workers are nice and helpful, and the selection of yarn is fantastic.
I thought of my carry-on bag and kept my purchases to a minimum. I bought three balls of Grass, a cotton and hemp blend. I know just which summer scarf I want to make out of it. In fact, I've already made one but since it's not yet blocked, it's not yet in a post. The second yarn is a laceweight called U-Knitted Nations Artesana in the colorway Fruit Freeze. With 545 yards to work with, it will probably become one of the Evelyn Clark shawls.
I'm pretty happy with my souvenirs!

LOVE Grass. I knitted the green tee/sweater last summer with it. I wonder if my friend the LYS owner ever sold the red/orange? Hmmm...
Oh I do love Orvis... but with 4 dogs, they're gorgeous stuff is usually out of our budget, lol!
