June Stash Enhancement

I didn't make it to the Estes Park Wool Market this year. It is a somewhat long story and involves my brother. He was going to visit Mom and Dad over Father's Day. This was planned for months. He was quitting his job. FInally, I decided to check plane ticket prices and found a cheap one. Just after I bought, he was offered a better job at a store closer to where he lived. So, he canceled. Having non-refundable tickets I went on the trip. As a result I still haven't seen my brother in over 10 years.

Since, the actual purpose was to buy roving, I bought all of the corn flower blue and some tan. In the future, I will have to find some where else to buy roving.

While in Idaho, my Mom and I toured several yarn shops near Couer d' Alene. The first two pictures are new stash from Boucle's Yarn Studio. It had just reopened a couple of months ago. I want to pick up some roving and the store was closed with a sign about a liquidation sale starting the day before I left. Mom and I made it over and bought some yarn.

Of course there was a visit to Harmony Yarns. They were having a sale some items. I bought mostly regular priced items. I was very tempt to get a pair of needles with nice ends but resisted.

I am happy to say this store will be remaining open. So, I will be able to shop there with my Mom.

We also had a trip into Spokane one day and stopped by Sew-EZ-Too. Where I found this yarn and a couple of patterns.

The other purchase since this is a fabric store too. Was some fabric for my Dad's birthday. His seamstress agreed to turn it into a shirt. The fabric has owls in flight on it. It is easier to find owl stuff since Harry Potter.

Also, we went a bead sale but that will be a different post.

I believe these four skeins are an attempt to keep me showing up in Idaho. Mom gave them to me. I think the Palate might work well in a Victorian Lace Today scarf.

I did acquire some needles, a combination of Knit Pick needles and Addi Turbo. They just don't make for an exciting picture.

All the yarn and needles have been logged in to Ralvery.
