Stitches West

My DH's cousin, who I have featured in this blog previously when she came for a visit, is a knitter. She claims not to be a very good knitter, but as you can see she is a very good knitter!

Well she lives in the Bay Area and went to stitches west. What a dummy I was for not asking her to pick me up a bob pin huh? She actually stopped by the ravelry booth and joined the site sometime there after. She got the cool little passport and went around to tons of booths. She picked a little surprise up for me which was insanely sweet of her, and low and behold she picked out 2 things I would have totally drooled over.

spinning wheel tee

How cool is that tee? I am not sure I can name all the wheel parts but I know a few! My Ashford Joy is such an odd little design it's almost confusing to look at traditional wheels. Its such a cool tee, and I love the color. Meeko doesn't know all about Blue Moon Fiber Arts, she has no idea how popular they are. Meeko if your reading this, when Blue Moon Fiber Arts debut their sock yarn at the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival a few years ago, there was a line around the building before their booth even opened and they sold out within like an hour or something crazy like that, and they had LOTS of yarn too. Blue Moon is the creme de la creme of hand dyed sock yarn.

So lookit, it's a Blue Moon sock spinning kit!!! How cool!! Thanks Meeko!! You rock! Talk about a nice stash enchantment. Check out meeko's ravelry page and add her as a friend, she's new to the online knitting world! One day when they fit BG, I'll have some cute hats to show you all that she made before BG was born.

AWESOME! Too too cool! BG seems to like it too =)

How snazzy! Love the shirt! In fact, my sweetie just printed me a hot pink shirt with a spinning wheel on the front! Here's to proudly displaying our obsession to all who may see us!! =D Love the photos with Sydney on the edges :)
