Studio Three

Apparently I won a gift certificate last year with my Best In Show Spinning at the Arizona State Fair.  I say apparently because I didn't know about it till late last year.  The gift certificate never came with the ribbon I got.  I finally got a chance to go up to Prescott to use it.  It's about a 5 hour drive if we drove straight up.  We didn't.  We broke up the trip with a stop in Phoenix.  I was worried that we wouldn't be able to go because they are still fighting the Goodwin Fire up there.  Luckily they had about 40% contained before we went up.  We didn't stay long because my oldest suddenly got sick and felt better once we left.  Here is what I got.

The fiber and yarn is dyed by a local dyer about 10 miles from Prescott.  It was great shopping for yarn and fiber in person.  I often have to buy via the Internet since there are no LYS.

Here are some pictures of our drive up to Prescott.  Lots of areas still smoking and burnt near the highway.

Apparently I Won Best Spinner Too!

I found out at the end of November that I won and today I got my gift certificate.  I hope I can use it before it expires!  This shop is 300 miles away and a 5 or 6 hour car trip. 

Gift Certificate Shopping!

I finally got a chance to head up to Phoenix.  Mesa actually.  I went to the Fiber Factory and got this with my gift certificate plus some cash.  The pink fiber is Romney for my daughter.  She picked it up and said "It's so PINK!!".   The other fiber is 50% silk and 50% merino.  The rainbow color yarn was also picked by my daughter for a hat.  Interesting choice but as long as she wears the hat, I don't mind.  I couldn't pass up the gradient set.  The purple yarn is a hat for the other daughter.

Gift Certificate

I got this in the mail.  It says "Best Weaver" instead of "Best Spinner" because the "Best Spinner" gift certificate is for a store in Prescott which the Best Weaver wanted.  This is fine with me since I've never been to the Fiber Factory.  I can't wait to check it out!
