May meeting
The May meeting was the end-of-the-year swap/barter/sell meeting. There was a lot of yarn, handmade bags and other handmade goodies, including shawl pins. For the second year in a row my camera died, so we don't have a lot of pictures.Coffee/tea and dessert was provided by the guild. I loved the mini-eclairs, personally. :-)
If you missed this fun event, be sure you make it next year!

the Traveling Sheep
loved their time in Colorado. At The Modern Ewe they played in yarn and met the knit-shop dogs.
One of their many meals out was at the Fresh Fish Company. No lamb on the menu made them very happy!
They climbed the 13 steps at the state capitol to reach one mile above sea level. Then they checked out the views from that altitude.
The rest of the time they lounged about and went out to eat a lot.
