In sticking with the whole "think global act local" idea, I try to visit more events in my neighborhood. Stitches West seemed to be just the right thing for a knit-aholic like me. Since this was my first time here, I decided not to take any classes but to take in the atmosphere and enjoy all the yarn. Oh, I wish my mom would have been here...
As I was strolling around and getting dizzy with all the cashmere and alpaca, I came across the booth of these to lovely ladies: Knit Princess and Handknit Heroes. I was talking with Allison from the Knit Princess and really liked her attitude about sharing a booth : "since there are not a lot of us out there, I don't see it as competition but a support network" Way To Go Girl!
My favorite project idea is the Stash Busting Tunisian Crochet Blanket from Stitch Diva. She made it look so easy and fun. Now how do I explain to my family I need even more yarn?
More on the really nice yarn I scored next time....
