This is my dear friend Marisa from the Quilt Otaku blog on the left and me on the right.  We had a blast modeling Ysolda’s designs in her booth at Stitches West.  I HAVE to make that lacey cardigan from her Little Red in the City book.  She did a spectacular job listing out all of the fun booths we went to and podcasters we ran into, so check out her blog for details!

I got way too much stuff this year… note to self, going to a knitting convention without a budget is a bad idea.

Here’s my loot:

• Fiber: 
• Pigeon Roof Studios
• A Verb for Keeping Warm
• Patterns:
• Ysolda’s Whimsical Little Knits 3, there is a sock pattern in there that looks really interesting.  These will be my next “selfish socks”. 
• Coastal Knits by Alana Dakos and Hannah Fetig
• Gretel by Coco Knits
• Yarn
• Malabrigo Rios
• Malabrigo Lace
• Melody
• Tools
• DPN holders, for my on-the-go sock projects
• 2 new project bags from Yarn Pop
• A wraps-per-inch tool that will help me identify the weight of my handspun yarn
• A lovley sterling silver shawl pin from Romi Hill

So… yeah, I definitley went overboard.  But, the little voice in my head says that it’s my birthday in 2 weeks, what the heck 🙂

Now time for me to get dressed and ready for my Design-your-own Triangle Shawl class!
