This Lady Knits

I went to a trunk show at one of my LYS’s, VYT this one down the street from Mom and Dad’s house. Yarn Pirate had her first trunk show.

So I get there, and there is a table full of wonderful yarn, well ok, the shop is full of wonderful yarn too, but it was the booty I was after. I hear someone say you have to take a number, ok, I’ll play, I got #10 and was told there was a 2 skein limit. Ummm, that simply wasn’t what I wanted to hear, Knit Devil had asked me to see if she had 2 skeins of Primrose and mehitabel had asked me to buy her 2 skeins of the Village colorway. That’s already 2 more skeins than the limit. Ok, easy fix here, I sent them both an email from my phone and told them they were out of luck, I’m being selfish.

I get my 2 skeins, the last 2 of the Village and pay for them. Knit Devil had already told Yarn Pirate that I was going to be there, and I acutally not only rememembered to bring my camera, but I remembered that I had it while I was there, I guess miricles do happen. So I went to say Hi and introduce myself to Yarn Pirate and get a picture, see I really was there, and of course that skein of yarn just jumped into my hand, ok, Yarn Pirate helped it a bit.

After this, as I was getting ready to leave, what do I hear… “All numbers have been called, there are no more limits on the yarn”. My heart skipped a beat and I had to be sure that I had just heard what I heard right. I asked, it was right. What happened next is a bit of a blur, like this picture my camera took all by itself.

Yup, your guess is as good as mine, but I think it’s a cool picture.

Ok, now I’m sure you really want to see the good stuff, so enough dithering.

From right to left. Village (VYT’s shop colors), Blackwater (named in honor of Yarn Pirate’s Daddy), Rosie, Inferno (the very skein in the pic with me an Yarn Pirate, it was good enough to pose for a pic, so it came home with me), Bitter Valley, and last but certainly not least Crocus.

My 2 favorites are Village and Blackwater, I got 2 skeins of both of those. 2 each of Rosie and Bitter Valley as well. There was only one skein of Crocus, but I assure you had there been another I would have left the store with 11 skeins and not 10. And the lovely skein of Inferno, I think it liked having it’s picture taken.

The knitting has commenced. The pattern for the ‘07 Knit off is Uniscarfity
