Meanwhile!

As the snow continues to lengthen both February and my school year (ugh), the Pittsburgh Knit and Crochet Festival has lengthened the yardage in my stash :D


Mo and me, respectively, knitting and simultaneously displaying our favorite FO's (what else would you wear to a knitting convention?!)

It was my first PKaCF, and oh man…the display room even smelled like yarn. We had such a blast. All the people we met were so nice, and the goods were heavenly!

Speaking of goods:


As soon as we walked in we were given free yarn: a good sign.
Two skeins of Berroco Plume FX that I have no idea what to do with, but free yarn!!!


And with Cascade as a sponser, that meant MORE free yarn. Two skeins of 220 wool in Steelers pride colors and a free pattern for a hat that were given to me by the kind lady at the booth even though I lost my ticket = a very happy MJ.

The catch buy of the day!


Knitting Notions Classic Merino Supersock in a succulent Pear mmmmm.


I will never get tired of staring at it/drooling on it/petting it/sleeping with it (kidding on the last one) <3


Of course we found time to sit back and knit in public, heh. Funnily enough, these WIP pictures are out of date already! You can check out Mo's delicious Traveling Women here, and as for the lump in my picture, here's how it grew:


After it acquires blocking and buttons, official FO pictures will arrive, promise!

Have a yarn apple.
