shopping! So I didn't go to Rhinebeck. Boo hoo, right? Well, I had a friendly personal shopper getting me some stuff! She even brought me money back so I'd have more for Stitches! Woot!

From NYSW, there is much roving! Some BFL and silk/merino, from Cloverleaf Farms and Ellen's Half Pint Farm. YUM! I can't wait til I have time to enjoy these!


And then Stitches.. so much shopping!! First up, some socks that rock and a kit for a top - linen... how is linen to knit with? how does it turn from the stiff yarn I have now to the soft drapy top they had on display?


My first encounter with Habu... yummy! They have such interesting yarn. I got some little bits (rayon?) and a cone of steel-silk (I think)... maybe for plying? Or something.



And then the massive bulk... some crazy superbulky and then some gray wool for my very first man sweater. I have NO IDEA what sort of man sweater- something with plain stockinette, and an almost fake turtleneck collar... not sure on the rest. I may just look at what is in his closet. hmmm...
