Oh the Yarnage
Check it ladies - the yarn:
Clockwise from the top: black alpaca from Delly Delights, Brooks farm fourplay, Pucker Brush Mohair Boucle, Cherry Tree Sock yarn, and Brooks Farm Duet.
The only thing I didn't get a picture of is the Tess microfiber ribbon because I still have to figure out how to deal with winding it up. The picture really doesn't do the colors justice, and of course you can't feel the squishy softness of it all. Take my word for it- it was worth every penny.
Here's a closeup of the Brooks Farm - so pretty! So squishy!
And a good look at the manly colorway of the cherry tree sock yarn.
So you want to hear about Saturday night at the old Homewood Suites "coctail party?'Well all I have to say is fun was had by all. Lots of ladies showed up and you can read about it on various blogs. We had a good old time knitting and drinking Lara's masterful appletinis. I, for one, haven't laughed that hard that long in a long time. I love it that we can be goofy together even though most of us had just met each other.
There is a Flickr group page of all our photos.
Here's a good photo of Anne Marie and I right before Sarah took the most hideous picture of both of us trying to do ridiculous English accents. Fun times.

Pretty, pretty haul! I esp. like the green cheery tree yarn. In fact, i think I almost bought that...
Actually, I think the OTHER martini pic isn't so bad. Just funny... but this one's pretty good too. ;-)
