Denver!

This past weekend DH and I went to Denver, Colorado to visit a friend who was graduating. It was a blast! We saw the midnight showing of Avengers, got mani/pedis, ate like there was no tomorrow, survived a completely unexpected hail storm, saw Avengers, again, and we were generally rather silly. We also made it to a LYS by the name of Lamb Shoppe. Here are the pictures to prove it.


Upon entering the shop:

 They had lots of cool stuff as you ventured deeper into the store:
Buttons, lots of them!
Wall of needles.

They also stashed needles on the end caps. Tricky.
I love that they have a ladder on rails to reach yarn.
One of my great aunts used to make dresses like these.
I’m not sure if I love or hate them but they make my hands cramp in sympathy.

Coffee, Tea, and Yarn! I've found heaven.
They were out of caramel so, instead of the caramel sheep, I had a regular mocha. Super tasty!
A hedgehog blanket and matching sweater! I’m in love.
I wish I'd gotten the name of this pattern.

It's reversible. How cool is that?


There was a tucked away staircase. It didn't go far.

But it was a place where kids could draw on the walls while you yarn shop.
While I’m not sure about the altitude, as a knitter, I could survive in Denver. They have a yarn store with COFFEE and TEA in it! And it’s good, too. If you are ever that way, you should stop by.

Super cute! I, too, love the ladder on rails. Please tell me you climbed the ladder and had someone push you around on it!
