seattle knitting expo
i spent a great knitting day with my friend denise yesterday. we drove down to the the seattle knitting expo in rush hour traffic to go to the opening of the marketplace. it was open for 2 hours last night and didn't disappoint!
here is the alpaca i bought from honey lane farms on san juan island.
just enough to do a small scarf of some sort. i am thinking a small cable? maybe the pattern from the one skein book?
and because i love the hand painted yarns, here is a great sock yarn in my favorite colors available from a swell yarn shop
but our first stop when we arrived was the home of some of the coolest sock yarn out there. boy what a treat to see it all in person. the pic below gives it away. want to see what i bought? come back monday and see the pics. all i can say is the gals behind this business were a treat to chat with.

You're going to make us wait until Monday? Seriously? SERIOUSLY? I love the pinky/purpley/brown sock yarn...I'm headed to their website to check it out!
Great to meet you at the expo and found your blog- Yay!! Can't wait to see how the rose and chocolate turns out :) ~A Swell Yarn Shop
Bummer...it says sold out next to that color! I can't wait to see the socks that you make out of that color!
The Sleeping Dragon sock yarn is delicious!!
Nice yarn porn.
That is lovely yarn! I wish I could go to the Seattle Knitting Expo too!!
Oh, it is TERRIBLY unfair to tease like that!! Can't wait to see what's in the bag.
BTW, GreatYarns! is having their annual spring sale May 5-7...which also means we're coming up on our "anniversary." :o)
Oh my gosh... how did I miss the Seattle knitting expo? Oh I can not wait to see your goodies!!
I did ONE sock in a handpainted colorway such as that. I LOVE that colorway with a vengenance! Can't wait to see your end result (hopefully you'll make a complete pair, unlike me).
