Fiber Fool

Well, I had all these intentions to get some blogging done, but I found myself under a pile of to-do’s and sweating profusely in an 80 degree house most of the week. And, in fact, I’m only writing today because I thought I should let it be known that we do not have working Internet at home right now. We’ve exchanged cable modems but can’t be certain that will fix the issue. So, if you e-mail me or message me on Ravelry etc. answers may be delayed because of this. Hopefully we’ll get home from the coffeeshop and find the new modem did the trick, but in case it doesn’t that is why you may not hear from me.

We did kind of kick of the weekend a tad early and spent yesterday afternoon and evening down in Boulder. We met up with Niki at the newish Purl Knit Cafe, and then met Kristi and her husband and one of his co-workers at Avery. Then Debbie joined us as well. We wrapped up the evening at Leaf - a real nice vegetarian/vegan restaurant near Pearl St. Mall. Between meet-ups DH and I even snuck in a cuppa at Dushanbe! Oh, and I know you all are on pins and needles to know what the real colorname of the fiber in the previous post was, right? It’s Rose! Kind of what I figured, but I’m glad I got to see a color card in person before making that decision.

The photo at the top of the post is of one of the blooms we got on the baby daylily that Cathy shared with us last year. It’s still in a rather shallow pot so I wasn’t expecting blooms, but that little pot must have produce a good 6 or 7 blooms over the course of a couple weeks. It is right on our front step so it was really nice to walk out of the house and see that spot of color. Thanks, Cathy!
