Let it snow! (somewhere else)

The Martins and us left EB at 6:30 yesterday morning.  Ki and Wyn (up wayyy to early) came over and said there's no lights and D/D's and I said Well go wake them up.  It'll be daylight soon!  The trip was uneventful.  We pulled up the rear, letting them split the wind.  :)  We ate  in Las Vegas at the spot of the famous Martin pkp/5th wheel totalling.  Ken, of course, had to have a Chile Rellano for a third time in 3 days.  He's beginning green chile withdrawal.  As the weather was predicting snow on Raton Pass we bypassed the Whittington Center and headed to Pueblo Lake State Park.  The clouds were gathering all around as we got parked and settled in.

This morning Deb and I went to meet the lady at Monk's Cloth and More (Cathy).  A great visit.  She told us about Monks Cloth.  It is made overseas (Pakistan?) and when James Thompson Co receives it there is only one Color - Cream (Natural).  They send it out to be bleached (white) or dyed.  Then she showed us that often the 10 yard bolt is NOT pristine or all one piece.    AND of course she uses a round cutter on a cutting board to slice the pieces in two.  Then she told us about Italian Hem Stitch -  but I forgot to buy the pattern and we were in such a hurry at the end she didn't get to show us the stich - but I WILL figure it out before fall.!!

All  in all is was a great day and I have two new colors - Hot Pink and Lime Green.  Hi my name is Phyllis and I haven't bought yarn for 17 days.  :)  Happy trails!!!
