Of Souvenir Yarn and Lace.

I'm back from a week in Austin, Texas. I was there for training and had a chance to hang out with Valerie for a couple days! The training was interesting and Val & I had a lot of fun exploring the Austin area.

I had some down time to knit during the training week, so I managed to finish the Swallowtail Shawl. It's a crumpled mess right now, but I can't wait to block and unleash the lacey prettiness!

Pink loops of thread.

Valerie and I went for a lovely hike in the Greenbelt and we admired these pretty little falls.

Sculpture Falls.

We also stopped by Hill Country Weavers (which is an amazing yarn store BTW) and bought some souvenir yarn. We are going to have a little interstate knit-along. We chose cotton/tencel yarn since we live in Texas and California... We are thinking of doing a light-weight lacey scarf with stripes. :)

Come on Valerie... we are actually going to use this yarn. :)

I also bought some buttons for Thermal, which is the next project on my hot list to finish...

I think the funk is gone... :)
