Oh the beauty of New Mexico. The blues skies and blooming desert plants just at the entrance to the road to our property west of the Gorge combined with the glorious sunsets after a late summer rain call me back again and again to the place I can't wait to call home.
Here are the newest creations coming out of my hands this past few weeks. A really cool mix on this simple roll brim hat. My friend Martie's beautiful handspun wool combined with Manos merino to make a cozy warm and beautiful hat that kind of looks like snow, spruce and blue sky. And speaking of blues, do I ever have them. At least this time the newest rug is going to be a bit of a different stripe for me combined with some color blocks that aren't traditional anything. Traditional me, I guess. Green chile and purple will be the next colors added to this rug. Speaking of rugs...my funky Ozark Fusion I showed you last time actually took a second place in Ozark Folkways Fiber Festival this past weekend while a cotton looper rug of mine took third. Pretty cool, huh?
Love how those yarns look together...that's a great Manos color.
