I'm still plugging away on Malin and enjoying the Cascade 220. I may look into doing her Grapevine sweater from Stillwater with this yarn, perhaps in a dark red color. Lately all my sweaters seem to be either green or purple so red would be a nice change.



It looks like I'll have enough Santa Fe photos to get us through next week and by then I should have enough progress to show some new knitting photos. Sorry about the lack of fiber content but I have knitting ennui lately. There is actually fiber content in the first photo - there is a weaving gallery there. The second photo is a building near the railyard. There used to be a neat made in NM foods store there in conjunction with the farmer's market held nearby but it looks empty now.

I'm amazed to admit I like some of the sweaters in the fall issue of Knitters as shown online at the Knitting Universe web site - I'm fond of the Elsebeth Lavold vest of course along with Soft Shoulders. That sweater is done in a really gorgeous color.



I got both a Herrschner's Yarn Shoppe and a Webs yarn catalog today. I see that Webs has Cascade 220 for $7 a skein and you get 20% off if you order more than $60 worth. I will have to look at their colors again because I'd love to do another sweater in this yarn.



Santa Fe is a wealth of art galleries. Here's one with some outdoor sculptures for your perusal.

Check out the fun metal gates at this store.



Today I decided to discontinue most of my knitting mailing lists. They take up too much time and I'm sick of receiving emails that have attachments/viruses. The only list I hung onto was Knitting Beyond the Hebrides because the projects these knitters are working on interest me. In general these days I'd rather read blogs than mailing lists. That way I can pick and choose blogs by talented knitters that inspire me to get more knitting done.



With blogs you can really tailor your online time to reading only about knitting projects that interest you and you don't have to read the other stuff. Blogs are better also because you can see what the knitters are up to with photos rather than just reading about it. I'm always curious about what yarns and colors other knitters choose for their projects.



I'll be back Tuesday with more photos of Santa Fe and some actual knitting content. Perhaps the tagboards will be back by then also. I'm such a dreamer...
