MDSW - Holy Crap!

Roxie and I headed out bright and early for the fairgrounds. 

 

We were on a mission and headed straight to Miss Babs' booth.  Even though it was only about 8:30, the line was out the door.

 

 

I was so excited to find three of my favorite knitting celebs outside Miss Babs' booth.  The indefatigable Miss Babs and the fabulous Leslie and Laura, the Knitgirllls.

There was so much to see.

 

Back at the hotel, we met in the lobby and did an informal show and tell.

 

My haul, a cricket loom, 48 ounces of Shetland roving, two books, some natural dyes, two fiber optic gradients and Miss Babs MDSW color way in sock yarn.

 



My ingenue

Finished this sweater and actually wore it to work. Really happy with the fit. The yarn is Miss Bab's superwash merino in Roasted Pumpkin, purchased at SAFF this last fall. I love sweaters without seaming. I modified this to make it longer and eliminated the shaping, for some reason the decreases were right at the bust line. First sweater of 2009! The clutch was an instant gratification project. I am trying to stick to one project on the needles at a time and needed a quick fix!
