Well, I lost some posts. I don’t know why, B says it’s my Anti-Computer Aura. Sigh.
I managed to save one post, from Week 9. Luckily not much has happened since then. ;-)
Week 9: I went to Santa Fe for work as usual, but this time I met my hubs and our friend for dinner at Buffalo Thunder Casino! I finished about the right time, but instead of having to drive home I went to (where else) Yarn & Coffee! I had over an hour to sit and chat and knit and shop and it was wonderful. I got some coffee and caved into another ball of yarn, which I cast on right away into another 22.5 Degrees. :-) I love Freia, this colorway is just the bomb. All the colorways are the bomb.
Here’s my view from my chair…
And I worked on Potter Shawl a little too! Look at those shawls, they’re already friends.
See that red dress and the orange scarf it’s wearing? I bought that pattern from Ravelry right in the store! woohoo! I didn’t know that was an option now. I think it will be perfect for the Robot Overlord yarn I have. The pattern is Sweet Summer Rays by Holly Priestley.
I left about the time they were going to close, and met the guys at the casino.
We went right to the buffet, which was awesome, and I had to take some WIP pics throughout the night, of course. I taught Rich a little about wine and a little about yarn. ;-)
Ben and I haven’t been there before so it was a lot of fun to walk around. We didn’t stay in the actual casino long (too smoky and we don’t care about gambling, but I did win $5 at roullette!) and it was just a gorgeous place. It isn’t too big or crowded. We’re definitely going to go back sometime for a weekend stay-cation. The art was really something…
He’s playing cards, not holding a phone like I originally thought. lol
Not sure how I feel about this guy. He looks an awful lot like a Borg…he’s cool though, so unique.
I bought a couple books from the gift shop, a book by Antonio R. Garcia-New Mexico Ghost Stories (it’s huge! I can’t wait to dive into this), he had a sequel to it too but I decided to wait on that and got The Witch Narratives: Reincarnation (Land of Enchantment book 1) by Belinda Vasquez Garcia. It’s weird and creepy and wrong in all the right ways. I love it so far. I got 80+ pages into it this weekend already!
The next day I had an extra 45 minutes and went to Cafe Bella (in Rio Rancho) to knit and sip for a bit. Here’s my other favorite view:
Such a nice place. I love the big windows to stare out of.
(I’m going to try and post this first, then get Week 10 back up. We had pretty nice springy weather in Week 9, up to 50s and 60s, then this week we got the worst snowfall since 2006! lol more on that later, and a recently Finished Thing!)
