YEAH! fibrefest was yesterday and I am a HAPPY girl:D This was my first time into the wonderful new world and I loved it so! My fellow friends said it was much smaller then the previous years.. but I think that was a good thing for me.. lol.. cause I was very overwhelmed! I was suprised as to how calm I was.. and how I didn't buy almost everything!! lol I bought homespun 100% Cashmere.. and.. seriously.. softest thing I have ever felt in my LIFE.. not really I had to have it.. expensive but completely worth is. I bought some sock yarn, it's 70% wool and 30% Kid Mohair! super nice colours, very excited to knit with it and see how it turns out. The lady that sold it had knitted a sock for example and it had a wicked spiral pattern going on.. so maybe that will happen with my sock yarn!!! I bought a basket too!! I LOVE my basket!! it folds down, so it looks like a big bowl and when you fold it up, it's a sweet basket!! I wanted to buy some yarn for a summer top but was having a hard time deciding what I wanted to make and find the yarn for it. we came across this super nice rayon and I really liked it and wanted to buy some.. cuase I could either make a top or a skirt! But we decided to walk around some more.. search a bit more cause each skien was 9.75 (not very expensive but.. it's fibrefest.. you have to double check! lol) So I pretty much decided it wasn't a big deal and that i had already gotten a lot of goodies and we were saying bye to Lynn when...... THEY CALLED MY NAME!! my name had been picked for a door prize!! YEAH! i never win anything (i'm glad my luck saved it for fibrefest.. lol).. so they had a table and you can choice what you wanted and I was like.... mm.. I want the loom (but that wasn't for this draw sad:( ) and so i picked out some bamboo roving and holly's like.. WAIT.. this is a $20 gift certificate for the place with the rayon!! I was like FREAKING SWEET ASS!! it's meant to be! so of course I grabbed that and went straight over.. picked out this AMAZING copper colour in rayon and paid only $10 for 3 skeins! YEAH! so after that we booked it out of there, or else we all would have bought more!
I've decided though.. I'm going to learn how to weave next.. becuase I really love it and I've always wanted to do it! So that's my next goal:D
In the middle of the week, my knitpicks order FINALLY arrived!! I'm in love with the colour grass and immediatly decided that was what I was going to make Themral out of. I always ordered some purple, which is also super beautiful but I'm already knitting purple so knitting 2 projects of the same colour just didn't sound good to me. My iron ore was a bit lighter then I had thought.. but I still love it.. it's more just red.. lol.. Knitpicks needs better namers.. cause they kind of suck.. lol well they just don't match up very well.. anyways.. I'm still super happy with Iron Ore! So I've started knitting my thermal and I loooove it! I looove the grass colour.. I'm sad that it's on clearance! I don't know why more people don't looove it! it's so wonderful but I have to say.. the computer colour doesn't do it justice. haven't started on my enterlac socks yet... I'm going to knit a swatch using the quant pattern first (as recommended by Hols). But I'm working on some socks for my man.. it's not going good... Nothing bad in particular, it's just giving me problems..
Ohh congratulations to Holly on her 100 post!! WOW!!!! YEAH HOLS!
