My first purchase was an embroidery pattern at the quilt shop next to our first hotel. That was quickly followed by some Flat Foot sock yarn from the Irish Ewe who managed not to laugh as we stood holding it waiting for her to officially open. I also snagged some experimental hand-dyed jaquard striping French Twist yarn from the French Hill Farm booth as well as a lovely Blackberry Ridge lace shawl kit which you dye after knitting (This from the Unique One).  For fiber purchases I made a beeline for Spunky Eclectic to grab a colorway I’ve seen on a few blogs and I chose a couple others as long as I was there and already squeezed into the booth. Next up was some deep rich red bunny roving at the Woolen Rabbit and last but not least some amazingly soft angora/merino from the Spinning Bunny.

At Halcyon I picked up another Turbo drive band for the wheel. Just last week I finally put one on my wheel and I really like it so I wanted to have a spare in case it breaks. I grabbed some bobbins from the sale bin for some fingerless-rovaniemi-mittens from the Jan/Feb issue of Piecework along with some felting equipment. At Yummies I bought some cornuts for Daniel so he’ll stop raiding them from my snack mix, some peanut butter cups for Jason and some fruit slices for me.
