So, on Sunday I drove back home and actually made good time at it. When I got home, I had to take some inventory of what I got while at Stitches:
This is the first part of the haul. This all came from Newton Yarns and are from left to right:
A 100% rayon light fingering yarn in the Nevada colorway. This has 1100 yards and I am not sure what it will be yet.
This is a wool blend of some sort. I'm not even going to try to guess at the yardage of this in the hank. I'm going to measure the yardage once I get it on the swift to wind it.
The blue is also a wool blend of some sort. Both the pink and the blue were unlabeled and only 10 bucks a skein in the grab bin. They feel nice and there's enough of the blue for a good sweater I think.
The gray ball in the top is the gray sock yarn I bought for the bead class. I can't remember the dyer for the life of me right now.
But wait, there's more!
From left to right:
Berroco Versa in color 3689. This will be for my beading experiments as it turns out non-stretchy ribbon yarn works best for this.
The needles are Knitter's Pride cubix, which I bought for the class and then didn't use. I'm looking forward to using them in the near future though and I will pass on my thoughts in a review of the square needles.
Squishy Lace by Dragonfly Fibers. While at breakfast one morning, I ran into the lovely ladies from Hiya Hiya. We chatted and ate, and then one of them came out with a coupon for Dragonfly. Hiya Hiya ladies, you rock! Also, I'll be picking up a sharp interchangeable set from you all in the near future when finances permits as I adore your needles. The colors of the lace are Rocky Top and Firecracker. Each has 870 yards and will become gorgeous shawls of some sort!
And now, I will go play with the yarn.
Knit on...
