Did anyone else attend Stitches this year? Of the 15 that I have attended,
this one was the best. So much great yarn, it was hard to resist
temptation. 10 hanks of hand dyed cashmere, two hanks of hand dyed angora,
enough Prism Wild Stuff for two sweaters and a couple of bags of Berroco
yarns managed to follow me home, along with a stack of books and patterns.
It is nice to see what fellow knitters are doing.

Oh drool........... I'd really like to go to a Stitches West, just because
it's somewhere warm. Your purchases sound wonderful and I wish you many
days of feeling them up, and then knitting them (laugh).
As an aside - the weather here today stinks. It's grey, dreary and rainy,
everything is brown and ugly, and it's getting to me. I think I'm going to
go back to bed and pull the covers over my head. But on the bright side -
one of my knitting groups is meeting tonight in a book store, so I'm really
looking forward to it pulling me out of my purple funk (smile).

I did. I succumbed to temptation. (But I did leave some for other people
to buy.) Hanks of cashmerino, hanks of merino, sock yarn, needles, and books.
I found it interesting that there was so much blended yarn that it seemed
hard to find 100% wool!

Webbs had some very nice 100% wool. By the time I decided to pick up enough
for a sweater, the stock was very depleated. The first two places that I
head for are Yarn Barn and Mannings, the selection of books they have each
year is awesome.
Did you get a copy of the Victorian Lace book? There are some interesting
historical tidbits in it.
