Crappy game, good yarn buys


Stitch n Pitch offered up some good yarn buys and a chance to visit local shop booths. In all about 12 booths were offering patterns, yarn and other goodies for sale. Common to most were the knitting needles that light up and the felted hedgehog. Both cute but not for me. I made off with a free skein of ribbon yarn, some Mariner colored sock yarn (I got the last one only a half an hour after the doors opened) and a Off the Cuff kit (perfect, since I have the pattern and no beads or yarn for it). Take a look...
I worked on my Dream Swatch Scarf for a bit until I noticed that the Blue Jays had scored without me even realizing it. Then I watched most of the rest of the game. I did make some progress though. It is a quick knit once I sit and work on it.

I saw Molly from PurlyGirls and looked avidly for others from the group but they must have been a few sections away. So many knitters. I think we and the Blue Jay fans out numbered the die-hard M's fans by far.

BTW, M's lost.

  • lucky you getting some of the mariners sock yarn, it was long gone before i got there!!

    i picked the same colorway for the free yarn :)

    the seating this year was odd. we had a lot of non-knitters mixed in. i didn't particularly care for that. i like us all to be together so we can mingle :)

  • I really like the sock yarn, you were lucky to get some. I went last year, but wasn't able to go this year, maybe next year I'l be able to go.
