It feels great to be home, at the same time I’m eager to return to Peru. I learned so much and traveled with an wonderful group of people, most importantly my darling mom, who fulfilled a childhood dream to visit Machu Picchu.
I have so much to share I really don’t know where to begin. My great hopes of blogging on the road were overwhelmed by the need to sleep after such full days of travel. I think even my picture taking suffered due to my desire to see with my eyes not through the lens. Do you know what I mean? I wanted to just straight out experience things.
I’ll be filling you in on all kinds of stories from my trip, in fits and starts I’m afraid. Right now I’m blissing out, surrounded by my trip souvenirs, catching up with work and browsing the latest issue of TwistCollective, where I succumbed to the purchase of Kat Coyle’s “Courting Sophia” inspired by Mexican Textiles. While visiting Chinchero, I participated in a natural dying workshop, you can see the dk weight alpaca I dyed above, but I’ve also got some lace weight alpaca in some of the same colors…that yellow might be just the ticket!
It does indeed look like home sweet home….glad you had an amazing time with your mum….so wonderful! Look forward to hearing more about it!
welcome home.
MARYJANE!!! Welcome back. Oh how I wish I could come over and look at all your goodies!
I’ve been obsessed with that photo you took of the masks. I can’t get it out of my head. Thank you for buying Courting Sophia! I’m knitting again in red, yellow, green and pink, oh my!
I just want to pull up and chair and knit with that lush yarn. Thank you for sharing you beautiful pics from Peru!
Welcome home! I always enjoy your photos! The yellow alpaca is beautiful! I’m really into lace knitting right now. Very fun!
How incredible! I can’t wait to hear all about your trip!!
