In fact, I almost didn't get it because I like my yarn/threads a little thinner than this but I wanted to see how it knits up so I will pick something like a lace scarf to make with it.Lacefreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291336363387079445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259281.post-73920589515129373522008-02-29T12:30:00.000-08:002008-02-29T12:30:00.000-08:00Dear badcatdesigns,I bet it would be fun to shop w...Dear badcatdesigns,<BR/><BR/>I bet it would be fun to shop with you too! I went with a bunch of family members and we always get seperated because it's such a large show. We meet up towards the end again and then spread everything out to look at it when we get back home. It's really fun to go to a place with so much selection on hand.Lacefreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291336363387079445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259281.post-17121523359939534082008-02-29T12:28:00.000-08:002008-02-29T12:28:00.000-08:00Dear fleegle,They don't let you take pictures at S...Dear fleegle,<BR/><BR/>They don't let you take pictures at Stitches West if you are just a regular person buying stuff, but they had Spider King displayed against a white back-drop so it was beautiful. Your Lyra was draped near all the yarns and looked magnificent. I think the displays really do help to sell the yarn. I know they sold of the color-way that was used for my Samper Stole on the first day and had to run out and re-stock for the following day. I know I bougt Angel in Red after looking at your stuff so now I have to figure out what to knit with it :-)Lacefreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291336363387079445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259281.post-28713162132585380182008-02-29T12:25:00.000-08:002008-02-29T12:25:00.000-08:00Dear z's momma,I'm glad you got to see both our wo...Dear z's momma,<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you got to see both our work in person. I love how they displayed fleegle's Spider King shawl. I didn't pick up any of the Addi lace needles because i have a lot of needles in US 00 and I have had no problem using my regular Addi Turbos in that size. I also have HiyaHiya needles that size so I had no real need for more. I hope you got lots of stuff there too.Lacefreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291336363387079445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259281.post-58736586126560797912008-02-26T13:38:00.000-08:002008-02-26T13:38:00.000-08:00What a jaw-dropping, gorgeous haul!

Of course, if I wandered across-country, I would probably end up living at Little Knits and never coming back here.<BR/><BR/>Wish I could have seen Sampler Stole and Spider King--I am glad that they are generating interest in lace knitting and I sure hope they are selling some yarn for them.fleeglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06348327363198905898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259281.post-56470595508318070692008-02-26T00:18:00.000-08:002008-02-26T00:18:00.000-08:00ooohhh.

I really enjoyed seeing yours and fleegles shawls at Yarn Place. <BR/><BR/>I am surprised that you didn't pick up any Addi Lace turbos in 00 that was only available from one booth at Stitches (that's what I was told).<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the yarn pix (even if they are your sisters).z's mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09811947990455999833noreply@blogger.com
