So, I was asked to share what I got at Sticks and Sting this year. I assure you it is modest in the most!
The yellow yarn on the left is a custom dyed skein of Superwash Merino 3 ply yarn that came with my goodie bag (but that I forgot to photograph!) by Dreams in Fiber. The middle blue and white merino/nylon superwash yarn is also by Dreams in Fiber and the colorway is “The Box”. The bundle on the right is by Blue Ridge Yarns and it’s called Footlights in the colorway “Pansies”.
Yeah, I was that restrained. But you see, I have this at home.
All those skeins in the plastic baggies on the top shelf? Wollmeise. The rest is an assortment of Blue Moon Fiber Arts and other various sock yarn companies. I assure you that this isn’t all of my sock yarn, just what I’ve brought with me to Ames!
In other news, we had snow blow-in early this morning. I fell on my arse twice in the parking lot just trying to get to Curtiss! I was both wet and sore by the time I got to my office this morning. Most, most annoying since I had even “prepared” by wearing my snow boots and was all decked-out for the weather. It is not supposed to happen if you prepare for it!!!! (Sarah’s Law)
Nice haul! What do you plan to make with it? I’m thinking of casting on with the sock yarn you send to me for christmas after I finish the cardigan out of gray handspun (which is btw. awesome to work with. Any spinning chez hortihoney lately?)
