and a few things came home with me *grinning*
You want to see inside the bags? Oh, go on then!! *lol*
James C. Brett - Marble
200g of chunky weight cheapy acrylic, but aren't those colours gorgeous!
Then there's some fleecy goodness:
Alpaca (if i were an alpaca, this would be me!!) For spinning!! :D
from uk alpaca
Not alpaca but couldn't resist the colours, she said it could be spun or used for felting :)
Red and yellow and pink and green, purple and orange and bluuuuuuuuuue,
I can sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow tooooooo!

Next up is the sock yarn - i was very restrained *wink*
2 balls each of 901, 902 and 903 from Bruce at Scandinavian Knitting Design -
The Cherry Tree Hill stand is a den of iniquity i tell you!!
I was very well-behaved and managed to pick out just one skein of Potluck that wanted to come home, after narrowing it down from three *blushing*
Aren't the colours luvverly!
I found some gorgeous patterns too, one for a clamshell modular scarf by Maggie Whiting at 21st Century Yarns and a scarf by Jean Moss for Artesano Alpaca that has a plaited section running through the middle of it - very hard to describe but i think you can just about see it in this picture:
I think i am going to make it in two colours, with the two sides in one colour and the plait in another, failing that i will do each "half" in different colours, but i definitely want to have a play with it!

I had a flick through it, like you do, thinking oh yeah, that'll be the only pattern i like and it won't be worth it... but i was wrong!! That's right, me... wrong! ;o)
There at least three other patterns in there that i intend to tackle :o)
Look at this work of art! Three firgure of eight shapes make up the centre and then the two side edgings are joined on too. Ingeeeeeeenious!
So, after i'd decided i was going to make it, i then had to choose a colourway - enter the fantastic Gill (from the Woolly Workshop) and Joy and after much umming and ahhing Martha's Vineyard was chosen -
Isn't she beautiful?
There are 2,400 yards there, i have no idea how i am going to ball it up!!
My hugest thanks go to Joy for spending the day with me, she is great company and has damn good taste in wool/cross stitch/everything we looked at in fact!! *lol*
Also a huge thanks to Auntie Noo for organising us - i wouldn't have done it without you!
*HUGS*
