Stitches West 2011

I just got home a little bit ago from the last day of the event. Of course I did not win anything and I spent W A Y to much money.
I got enough of Berroco's Blackstone tweed to make a cardigan I hope I got it in wharf and I hope this will be my tribute to Isolde if not I found some lace weight Jojoland Harmony in the sand and surf colorway to make a shawl. this is the same colorway that was in my knitting bag that was stolen. I had bought it as it matched Isolde perfectly eyes and coat. It is somewhat scratchy but i hope that it will soften with wash.
I bought some more Copperboo which is bamboo wrapped in a very fine thread of copper and I even was able to buy some of the copper filament now I have to pick a design and decide what to mix it with I am thinking kidsilk but I need the right color It is a mid teal blue like a lake at dawn with the rising sun sending rays to dance on the ripples.
I looked at some spindles and at a spinning wheel but I am not ready for the expense of the wheel. I saw that I can have it custom painted too which was lovely.
I also entered M'Agnes in the Bissell MVP contest, it never hurts to try. I tried to link the contest but had problems but if you click the title of this post it will take you to it the contest starts 2/23 and you can vote every 24 hours.
