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.
