WOW WOW WOW, you guys did it up right! What a nice thing to do for the holidays! I want to go to WEBSSSSSSSSSS ! Maybe we can do this next summer when it's warm and the drive won't be so daunting for me.

Hey Ingrid! Isn't that Cleckheaton yarn you got? It looks like it, the yarn I'm using to do my little blue socks. And yes, I bought my first alpaca yarn this year and it's to die for, sooooooo soft and luscious. I can't wait to get more.

Wonderful pix you guys, thanks!

I didn't get Cleckheaton this time, but that's what I used on my Fassett sweater and I love the feel of it!

For the summer jaunt, if you are in the city and want to take the train to Poughkeepsie, I'll pick you up and we can go from there.

Great pics, Amy!!!

Thanks for the video--I wish it were longer! (It didn't take that long to download it; 30 secs maybe?)

Oh, Ingrid, that sweater is absolutely lovely!

My head would explode if I had to follow an intricate pattern like that....I wanna grow up and knit just like you! :rofling:

The sweater was knit on stitch at a time, one row at a time, just like anything else!

I know...I should just learn to isolate patterns line by line so that they don't look so scary!

What a great time :D . My only regret is that we didn't have more time to hang out. I hope next time we will. I also hope with the better weather we'll get to see even more people. I was also glad to be able to thank Ingrid and Amy for all the help. It was great meeting everyone and they were even more fun in person than they are on line. I'm getting to the point where I'm going to have to start hiding my stash. I actually bought FOUR 2.2 lb cones of Shetland wool (13.99/lb) and 500 yds of bamboo yarn that was marked 40% off the usual $22 per skein price.

Yup, I'm my own very best enabler. I did show some restraint since I did not have to rent a trailer to take my purchases home

Because you brought one with you, didn't you? Always thinking ahead!
