Stitches take home

As promised
- (a while ago) -
my take home from stitches!!!

SWTC was there and with swag handouts of a new yarn - and it has a counterpart....

I JUST LOVE LOVE LOVE THEIR YARN!!!!!!

Then there was the HABU booth that I just couldn't seem to get away from.......

Look at this incredible yarn..........

That I immediately came home and started to knit this.......

I love the look and the feel....

this will go to a special friend for Christmas.....

Someone that can pull of the simple elegance....

hmmmmmmm

THEN I got these lil numbers to make a wrap from this book

(one of my very first books I ever got when I started knitting.... WHO KNEW it had HABU!!!!)

I bought these two HABU slubby yarns that are actually very interesting and intricate when knitted up and I am trying to decide WHAT I am going to make......

Fun yarn to creat with!

THEN

MALABRIGO WAS THERE - handing out SWAG from thier newest LACE yarn........

This might turn me into a LACE knitter!

Upon my return home look what was waiting for me......

OK long story short...

It was our anniversary

-

my hubby went to a foo foo shop on Armitage here in Chicago.....

And got me this......

WHAT A SURPRISE it was!

Isn't it beautiful! I love it!!!!!

AND

He did it all on his own WITHOUT the girls to help him!!!!!

Did you read that Natalie?

Stitches

I haven't forgotten......

That I went that is......

I stuck to my budget (thank you Lorinda) and I am very happy that I did. However, I did spend my budget at Habu. You have to have HABU! Habu Fascinates me. I love their matrix like patterns and I love LOVE their unique yarn.

I hope to have pictures of my purchase up by the weekend.

It's just been hectic around here and all I want to do is sit an chill, sit and knit, sit and scrapbook, sit and read......

It's not looking to promising though......

A Letter to MACY's

So - MACY's disappointed me today. (Is that such a surprise?)

Go HERE to read the letter sent.... (really I did send it!)

Then - on a good note - go here! Awesome article!

I wonder if she knits?

BACK TO KNITTING - I must go!

LOOK WHAT CAME!!!!!

Waiting for me on my doorstep - when I just got home a few minutes ago was -


THESE!!!!!! My knitpicks interchangeable needles!!!!!!!

LOOK at those needles.... those beautiful needles..... I wonder how many WIPs I can get on them..... Oh the temptation!!!


Seriously - nothing is more frustrating then getting ready to cast on a project (yarn in hand with pattern on your lap) and the needles you need - are in another project or haven't been purchased yet.....

My hubby openned my box as I finished a presentation I am doing tomorrow. He was a bit confused by the mechanics surrounding them......

Okay back to my presentation.....

My wonderful hubby - is putting them together and in their nice carrying case.... How exciting!!!!
