Update

Can you even believe it! One month since the last post. Where does the time go??? Here we are three months into the new year and I feel like I can't even keep up. I know that all the snowfall that we've had this year has a lot to do with it. I ended up with aches and pains that I am still trying to recover from. I have been knitting ever chance I can get. I am currently working on the 198 yds of Heaven Shawl. I have started it in a few different yarns, trying to see which one I like best. I am also trying to finish some already started(and should have been finished by now) projects .
Here on the east coast Spring has sprung. We had a gorgeous week weather wise. I am so happy to have spring. It was up in the high 60's and low 70's all week. It has almost made me forget about the trying winter that we just had.

Yesterday we attended our second HomeSpun Party in Savage Mill. It was a blast. I enjoyed seeing some of the same vendors from last year. Our favorites were Folktale Fibers, Cosy Knits, and of course The Sanguine Gryphon. We met up with Arthella and Cheryl and got there around 11am and was able to get a good spot in line with only a few in front of us. I always enjoy seeing what everyone is working on. We never mind waiting when we have our projects with us. The doors opened around Noon and we headed over to Sanguine to see if there was any Bugga♥ and their was...we Scored! Everyone had the same idea and within seconds it was a mad house grabbing all the yarn. I am very happy with my 3 skeins of Bugga(I started out with 5). Chelette scored 6 skeins of Bugga. Next stop was Cosy Knits. She has the most beautiful handspun. Then off to Folktale. Once I visited all my favorites, I then could take my time and visit some of the other vendors. I loved being outside on the porch where the weather was simply beautiful.

The best part was seeing some of my favorites peeps. My hat goes off to BunnySquirrel for all her hard work. This year was a big success. I hope she was able to get some sleep after-wards.
It's always nice to Somebunnyslove, and Jessica they was working really hard. I soon ran into Carol, Evelyn, Ava, Shelly and Sandra, Connie, Barbara, Deb, and Deb, Debbie and Susan, Deb, Jana, Tiaree, Melodye, and Pam, Karida and Jillsey, and Jennifer. I am sure I have forgotten to mention someone.

I was pretty good at not over buying yarn this year. I am going to wait until MDSW before I buy anymore yarn.(that's the plan anyway). I'll let you know how it goes.

I guess you could say I have been way behind in posting, sorry about that. I really need to get caught up. And when I find my camera that has been lost for months now, I will post some pictures of our latest projects.
Happy Spring♥

Stimulating the Economy................

How?? You buy yarn! There were three yarn parties all in one weekend and we went to all three, yes all three. hahahaha. It started out at A Tangled Skein with the Friday the 13th party. Lots of knitters, food and best of all the yarn was 20% off until midnight. While hanging out at the party our dear friend Susan B told us that Knit Happens was celebrating their 5 year anniversary with a yarn sale and party on Saturday. We decided to check out the sale and it was everything and more than we had even dreamed of – they had Jade Sapphire Cashmere for 70% off –Debbie Bliss Donegal Tweed 50% off –Schaeffer silk 40% off and to top it off the books and patterns were 50% off….

Here we are day 3 headed to the Homespun Yarn party in Savage Mills which we had already planned to attend –we had to pinch ourselves to see if it was real. Could there really be another yarn party --we haven’t had this much fun since MDSW/Stitches. We got some really nice handspun yarns. It was interesting to see some of the same people at all three parties. Also, we met Claudia and Denise, two ladies that read our blog. More photos on cici's flicker and cj's flicker.

The parties are over and we decided that we have stimulated our STASH and hope that we have done our part in stimulating the ECONOMY and there will be no more YARN buying until MDSW! Thanks for a great weekend. Now it's time to start knitting♥
