Today was fantastic. We went to another venue of the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show. We went down to the Kino Sports Complex on Ajo Way. We skipped the main tent and went to wonder around the back tents. Some of the awesome things we saw included the Australian mineral exhibit. The stones were so colorful. They were very different from the stones from other parts of the world. If you ever get a chance to see stone from Australia don’t pass up the chance. Of course I found some more charms for stitch markers. We walked around until John thought I might be running out of spoons. I was having so much fun, that after 3 hours of walking and looking I did not want to go home.
In other good news I tried on my largest size blue jeans in my closet today. Only have to lose 3 more inches on my waist until they will zip up. This is a lot better than the last time that I tried them on. Last time the would not go over my hips. So I consider this major progress.
In knitting news, I finished a charity scarf tonight. I will take pictures tomorrow. I am almost finished with the thumb on the first glove to match new shawl. Now I just have to weave in the ends, take pictures and publish the pattern. No problem except that I either need a model or someone to take my picture.
I have picked out the yarn for the next shawl. I just need to cake one huge skein of lace weight silk. No it’s not going to be a lace weight silk shawl. I will double strand she shawl with a pretty mohair yarn, I got both of the yarns at Grandmas Spinning Wheel here in Tucson. The changes in yarn happen so fast that sometimes you might have to pick a different yarn combo than I am using. More pictures tomorrow.
Well it’s getting late so it’s time to call it a day.
