Hey! Look at me! Actually blogging about something that happened THE SAME DAY instead of 6 weeks later! Amazing!
I went to Stitches West yesterday and today, and by “went to Stitches West” I mean I went to the market and didn’t take any classes. I had a budget and LO. I have three whole dollars left and didn’t even get out the credit card.
Here’s what I got:
I mostly bought from Miss Babs this year because she had the nice big skeins of worsted weight, of which I only need two skeins to make a sweater out of. I got two skeins of the “Yowza Whatta Skein” in Blue Teal and Sandi’s Red. I also got a skein of her “Yummy” sock in squash blossom. The other sock yarn I got was from Wabi Sabi and is the colorway Orchid in Glow Sock. I chatted with the lady from Wabi Sabi for a bit; she was really nice. I wish my camera would take a picture of the right color of that yarn because it’s beauuutiful; a deep dark purply orchid color. *love*
My rule re: sock yarn this year, since I have a sick amount of sock yarn, was that I could only buy it in yellow, purple, and red, which are colors I don’t have as much of as the rest. By the time I bought the wabi sabi yarn I had almost run out of money, so I stopped by Chameleon Colorworks and picked up a bottle of the Ravelry-inspired Soak.
It smells really good. Normally I go with the grapefruit Eucalan because it’s way more economical, but I do like Soak and this was with the last of my money for the most part.
After we were done, my mom and I stopped at In N Out Burger with my aunt January. Mmmm, double double/dr pepper!
And now I’m home, watching crime, and about to make some green Thai curry for dinner. Good times!
