What I did last weekend

This was our room at the Lazy Cloud Inn. All their rooms are individually decorated (this was the Mossy Glen suite) and so comfortable! We had a picnic basket delivered for dinner, drank a lot of wine and champagne, and soaked in the hot tub. There wasn't a TV in our room, and it was so nice to just sit and talk in front of the fire.



We had a beautiful Sunday afternoon for the game. Here's the outside of Lambeau field


Look at all the people!

Here is the view from our seats...skybox, baby!

Read it and weep, Green Bay! Steelers win!


Last but not least, the yarn porn. I went to two yarn shops in Madison: the Knitting Tree (not worth the trip--cozy means "very small") and Lakeside Fibers (OMG, a beautiful store!) and didn't find any yarn at either store that I had to have. Then my aunt and I went to the Joann superstore in Green Bay, where I got these:

I know....ewwww, acrylic! But I needed the Red Heart for the snowflake illusion scarf I'm making for my Mom for Christmas, and I couldn't pass up this boucle yarn. One skein is almost 900 yards, and it is the prettiest orange/red color. My aunt also bought this for an afghan (she's a crocheter) in the dark blue, which is a lot darker than the photo. It's the same yarn as I got, but variegated to make wide stripes.

That boucle yarn knit's up really nice, my friend made a wrap type thing with it.

Great pictures!

Hi, Lori! Found your blog via KR. Nice shot of Lambeau, but you didn't get my face in any of your pics! :) My husband's family have season tix in section 108. It was a good game.
Happy knitting! :)
