Denver Knitting - Fancy Tiger
Last night I found another knit night (rather a craft project night) in lovely Denver. This time I went to Fancy Tiger. It’s a great three story shop that caters to the fiber lovers and the fabric lovers. I wish I had taken the time to gawk over the fabric and patterns but yeah, my sewing machine is dusty and I owe Johnny Mustache some table runners…but you know I have at least 2 more trips out here this summer, so maybe then. 
When I arrived many folks were headed to the basement for a sewing class and I was directed upstairs to the gathering space for craft project night. I really like how their store is totally inclusive. Many of the folks there last night were knitting but one lady brought some sewing and others were discussing how crocheting a particular object would in fact be much easier. It really feels like anyone could wander in and be at home. I know I had a great time. I then wandered downstairs where I picked up some Eco Wool for a Hemlock Ring blanket and some Make Me Happy to round out the 2 balls I already have.
In other awesomeness, this shop is open on Sundays until 6pm. I was saddened when I wasn’t able to make it to the shop on Sunday due to my hour flight delay in Dallas. The knitting here in Denver has been great. I hope that I can make it out again the next time I am in town!
Tomorrow I may begin the pattern on the foot. I also worked on the fronts of my sweater. Much knitting was accomplished. I had every intention of going to some of the local yarn shops however my flight was delayed in Dallas so even though there are at least TWO shops in Denver open on Sundays I didn’t make it in time. Last night I was forcing myself to stay awake so my body would adjust to the time schedule but without fail I was up of my own volition at 545am. I am not sure when that happened last. When my alarm went off at 6am I was already in the shower and had called the boy to say good morning.
