I am so close to getting my Boneyard shawl Camp Loopy project #2 done! I just needed to finish off the binding last night and I would have been done but it was getting too late and there was still one more work day left in the week. This whole work thing really gets in the way of what I want to do!
Tomorrow morning I will get to the post office to pick up my yarn for Camp Loopy #3, it's been waiting there since Monday. I live in a very small town, post office is only open for a few hours in the morning so sometimes I have to wait to pick up packages. I'm glad we still have a post office though!
The shawl is getting quite large so it was hard to get a good photo and the pattern doesn't show very well.

Back from Vacation
Back from vacation and back to work.......sigh
It was hard to re-adjust to the real world of the alarm clock! We had a great time, loved spending time with my family. (and chasing a 2-1/2 year old wore us out but we loved it!)
I had a couple of days that were pretty free so I turned on the GPS and did some exploring. I went to The Quilt Store in Broomfield, CO which was a wonderful, bright quilt shop. The next day I went to Fort Collins and visited The Fig Leaf, The Sewing Circle and Loopy Ewe! All the stores were great, the only issue I had was that the The Fig Leaf had just moved the week before so it was a little hard to find. It was fun to see Loopy Ewe in person after seeing images online. I was greeted warmly at the door and had the store layout explained to me - WOW what a lot of beautiful yarn!
I working on my sockhead hat until Camp Loopy Project 2 start day of July 1. The hat is a slouchy style so the hat part is bigger. The yarn is so soft and the colors are pooling.
July 1st I started on Camp Loopy Project #2. The project had to be a popular pattern and use 500 yards of yarn. I choose the Boneyard Shawl using Malabrigio Rastita (a DK weight). It's been a pretty easy knit but the rows are soooooo long now, supposed to have it done by the end of July. I think I'm about 3/4 done. The photo doesn't show the ridges very well.
