Finding Buttons

Harelita Bohrer from Ramah, Colorado came to find buttons for her latest knitted sweater. The color here does not do it justis at all. It is a rich beautiful purple and fits her like a glove. Not all of us learn to knit with a cable knit sweater as a first project but that is what Harelita did. In between being the post master in Simla Colorado she did find time to knit which is her passion and work in her yard. It has been brought to my attention that she is a amazing gardener. I wish she lived closer I would take a trip to see her flowers.
When Harelita was in Buena Vista her projects on the needles were a brown wool sweater, a lime green sweater, and a crochet table runner. I know that she went home with enough Liberty Wool to make a sweater which I just purchased also to knit the same sweater. I better get to knitting so that the next time Harelita and her husband come up (he is a fisherman) I will at least have more than a gauge swatch done.

Oh yes!! This is my job.

Felted Acorns
Ina Bernard from Pueblo Colorado was teaching needle felting booth right next to me. I may or may not of come home with some of her art. Ina is a delightful person and loves what she does. The felted acorns are cool for sure.

Yep, I get paid sometimes to spin in public, I am such a new spinner I was not sure I would be the best person for the job but I had so much fun. Thanks Tami for my afternoon in Salida.

It snowed on the mountain

Roxanna brought in some of her new crochet projects She picked up yarn for a baby blanket also. One of my problems working at Serendipity is that when people bring in projects I want to make one. This one included. We just checked in 50 bags of yarn that would work wonderfully for this project!!! It was so cold this morning I wish I had this to curl up under. Thanks for sharing Roxanna.

I put this in the mail for my good friend and sister in law this morning. It is Blue Sky Alpaca (50% alpaca & 50% silk) It was a dream to knit with and blocked out beautiful.

You never know who is going to wander in to Serendipity. Joan is helping Katie pick out some yarn. Katie is very good friends with my daughter in California. I loved meeting Katie and spending a little time with her. She fell in love with Colorado, maybe she will come back. We would love that.

Rita has taken off in her spinning. Here is her latest, she was in looking for a project to make with her yarn. We all thought a cowl would be the perfect knit for her new creation.

this makes me SMILE

Maddie and her mom drove in from Omaha, NE and found our Jelly Cats. These four cute little guys went home with Maddie. She was so pleased to add them to her collection. We have some really adorable animals, I think maybe Addison will need another one when I go to visit next time.
This is our friend Linda, I have posted about her before. She is learning new techniques all the time with her knitting. Here is her latest, a head band for her daughter who is suffering an illness in a state far away from her mom. Linda will be gone for some time helping her child (they are always our child not matter how old they are). We helped Linda pick yarn and projects to give her something to keep her hands busy while at the hospital. I think by the end of the week mother and daughter will have matching head bands. Linda, all of us here at Serendipity will be missing you and thinking of you often.
