We headed up to Colorado for a few glorious days - Durango, Ouray and Telluride. Phil drove, I knit. Rode the gondola with our dog and did some black diamond hiking. All these years, we thought she was a purebred Golden Retriever but it looks like she must be part mountain goat! With the huge amount of snow they had this year, they’re behind schedule on their wildflowers (yes, that is a baby Indian Paintbrush) but the gardens of Telluride were just beautiful. #knitting #knit #wool #fairisleknitting #knittersofinstagram #jamiesonsofshetland #strikke #stricken #tricot #colorado #telluride #hiking #strandedknitting #shetlandwool #maryannstephens #maryannstephensknitsNinety degrees in the shade right now and it’s supposed to hit 106 degrees F here today in Tucson. So what am I doing? Why, I’m happily knitting away with a cozy pile of Shetland Spindrift, of course! #knit #knitting #fairisleknitting #strandedknitting #knittersofinstagram #wool #jamiesonsofshetland #yarn #summerknitting #shetlandwool #tucson #arizonaBeautiful Golden Columbine flowers spotted on our hike yesterday near the intersection of the Marshall Gulch and Sunset trails on Mt.

We Norwegian Americans love all this stranded knitting stuff! The Scandinavian import stores would love these patterns — they all have Dale yarns and others. Best!
Congratulations and well done. Loved it. 🙂
Wow, this was a fun read! Suffice it to say, if there’s a knitting gene, it bypassed my wing of the family!
