Whew! It's hard to believe that it has been a week since I returned home from Interweave Yarnfest in Loveland, Colorado! After being cancelled for 2 years in a row, we were finally able to meet at an in-person conference and I am so very thankful.

 Part of my BIG & BOLD Cables Class...

In the Market during my fun time of "Redeeming Crochet through Stories & Song"

While there I was able to meet many of you for the first time, teach the crochet classes that I so enjoy, and even have a time of telling stories and singing fun parody songs about this craft we all love so much!

Meeting another Maryland friend at the Interweave social... 

Meeting old friends and making new ones is always a highlight for me at these conferences!

Laura from JUL Designs in the Market...

Of course there was also the market with many vendors selling beautiful yarns and all things related to the fiber arts...

Having some fun at the Dam Store (near a real dam) outside Loveland...

I honestly didn't want it to end, but the exhaustion in my body told me it was time to head to the mountains for a couple of days of much needed rest.

Our view of the Rockies from Estes Park, CO.

My sister Brenda and I truly enjoyed the majesty of the Rocky Mountains and walking around the town of Estes Park. Our drive into the Rocky Mountain National Park after a fresh snowfall from the night before was nothing short of a worship experience! If you've never seen this before, I encourage you to consider attending next year's Interweave Yarnfest in Loveland, CO and add a couple of days to experience this for yourself. It will be time and money well spent!

Another opportunity for fiber fun will be in Pittsburgh Creative Arts Festival in Pittsburgh, PA, August 25-27, 2022! I will be teaching a few classes in crochet there as well.
