Debbi and Susan left bright and early yesterday for Stitches West. You can track their travels here; http://goddessknitters.blogspot.com/
I have sent a massive amount of yarn with them and promised that they would not have to pack it back up and send it home so my dearest knitters the rest is up to you.
There are Mill Ends and Rare Gems And lots and lots of heavy weight for those February Lady sweaters .
New colorways and some ol’ friends back for a visit/ There are some lovely shawl kits that were so much fun to put together.
irishgilie and tapmouse will also be there helping so ... certainly stop by and say hi to my lovelies, both yarn and women.
have fun all!!
Remember that commercial.."Open open open open open” that is me right now!!!! Tomorrow can’t get here soon enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can’t wait to see what lovelies you sent down to us!!!! I’ll send hugs home for you!!

Ahem.
The fabulous Cockeyed blogged “(did I mention the case of olive pickers?...ask Tina about this) “
So, Tina, what’s up with olive pickers?

Awww man ... wish I could be there! Blue Moon yarn, Sockateers, irishgirlie, Leslie, cookies and brownies—sounds like a recipe for more fun than should be legal.
Leslie—if you see a Rare Gem that you know I would love present its pretty self, you know what to do, right?? Today is my birthday, nudge, nudge. ;o)

Gregory’s is good.
Hee, Lou! I will remind her when I see them all tomorrow.
In the meantime, I’m trying to reconfigure my budget since one of those little birdies told me that there will be yarn to make my own Irishgirlie Snowboarder hat if I want. Woot!

Hey, Marisol-there was still some De-Vine and it really is pretty DEVINE! And great colors for a hat for your hubby! The shawl kits are gorgeous! I have a feeling you will really like #8-rusts and blues!
And Tina, your Sockateers are doing well and have a wonderful BMFA booth set up! I will be sending you pics!

What are my chances of finding any rare gems at Stitches South? Will us southerners be getting a little love? I’m guessing the Fold will be there?

saw some great articles about weaving, knitting and other fiber arts at a site called eCountryLifestyle, if anyone here might be interested. They cover several interests, but the Country Creation’s section is quite nice.

Tina -
I attend Stitches MidWest every year, and while The Fold carries lots of Blue Moon, she doesn’t seem to have all the goodies that you have at Stitches West. Can you send us some of your love this year????

We had way too much fun!! I miss them already!!! I sent you up some hugs
