I treated myself to a quick trip to Stitches East in Hartford today. This is a convention with knitting classes and a huge vendor mall. At the time registration was open, my schedule was too indefinite for the fall to make any plans that required pre-payment of fees. However, my schedule was actually free today so I drove over to the vendor mall.
So much yarn!!!! So many goodies — knitting needles, knitting jewelry, magazines, books, . . . . . . . . . . .
I did stop in the booth of my local yarn shop to say hi to the gals working there. They were doing a shining business and the booth looked great. Also visited the booth of a yarn shop whose owner I only know thru email1313s and messages on Ravelry. It was great to meet her and her staff in person and to have a little chat.
If I have the nerve, I will lay out my wonderful purchases and take a photo. The yarn was either all hand-dyed or natural alpaca. The alpaca is sooooooooo soft. Cannot wait to start on a new scarf with the yarn — and I just “happen” to have some new knitting needles to knit the scarf with.
