Yarn Fest 2023 - Spinning for Lace Master Class
Loveland, Colorado
If this isn’t the face of a very happy spinner, I don’t know what is!!
Georgia is very proud of her laceweight yarn 😁
This is one of the punis that Elaine created in the second half of the class.
And here is the single spun from that puni. Trust me, this photo does not do the yarn justice!

We have started staying at some Harvest Host (harvesthosts.com) sites while we’re traveling and making new friends, both two- and four-legged ones!

Madison Vines Campground
We took our maiden voyage with The Twisted Traveler to visit a dear friend in Virginia. We wanted to get a “small” trip in before heading all the way out to Colorado and it’s a good thing that we did! We discovered a small leak in the camper’s bathroom that we were able to have fixed as soon as we got home.
We have arrived safe and sound!
Of course, I had to get in at least a little spinning!!

Getting caught up on some of our travels over the past few months. I'm still a work in progress when it comes to blogging!!
Spinning at my first SPA! We were supposed to go in 2020 but Herman thought that it would be a good time to have a heart attack on the day that we were supposed to leave. Oh well, better late than never, right??

OK, so we haven’t started traveling with our Class C (hmmm, maybe we should give her a name), but we are traveling nonetheless! We have been visiting with friends this past week and doing a few touristy things.
My spinning began with three very interested pups checking out my EEW 6.0 e-spinner (although I only got pictures of two of them).
Freya almost got her nose clipped by the flyer!
Winston was intrigued by the fiber I was spinning!
After spending the first few days relaxing, visiting, having lunch with another friend in the area, and getting caught up, we went to the Sunset Station Casino to play bingo. Our friend won one game that she had to split with a couple of other winners.
Next we went to the Orleans to see Avatar, The Way of Water
We spent one day visiting Goodsprings Mining District and Ethel M Chocolate Factory, where I had a “Knitters’ Handshake” with one of the employees there.
Goodsprings Mining District
“Lead me to the chocolate!!”
Another day was spent at Red Rock Canyon where it was 43°F. My fingers got so cold, I could hardly spin! My assistant (Hubby) and I need to work harder at remembering to take pictures of me spinning in all of these places!
Huddling together for warmth!!
Next, we went to the Suncoast Casino for a couple of afternoon sessions of bingo where I won one game (and play a couple of slot machines 😉 where I didn’t win but Hubby did … a little). We finally remembered to start taking spinning pictures!! LOL
On our last night, we went to an escape room at Escapology where we played the Scooby Doo scenario. Then back to Suncoast for a last session of bingo where I won one game (and play a slot machine 😉 where I won … a little) before heading home in the morning.
And now, we’re at the airport and it’s time to head home!
