Stitches West Fun!!!

Such an exciting weekend, I don't really know where to start. I have so much to share, but until I have a bit more time (and sleep!) to compose a more thorough post, here is a snapshot of the weekend!


IGK fun!
The Ravelry Party....yes, I brought some Irishgirlie fun and Susie, Mark, and Erica of Kollage Yarns induldged me in the fun!! 


TheModel!
A life-size poster of the most gorgeous model ever! Thank you Thayer!! And because I know you might ask, yes, that is her gorgeous Blair sweater from Twist Collective that she is wearing.


And so many friends stopped by the meet-and-greets to say hi and show their support! I love you guys!! Thank you!!

Family!
My mom and a dear family friend came too!  My mom was a trooper and came both days, and so did my sister!! Eek...Where are those pictures?! 


There are knitters everywhere at Stitches and it was such a great time to meet up with all of our local friends!



Friends!

Oh, and yarn.  There was lots and lots of yarn.

More about the yarn later, but ummm...I may have made multiple purchases from Sunshine Yarns.  I think one every day!

The post-Stitches hangout at The Hilton Bar....where we had a fabulous time with Lew!

A whole bunch of love.
And these ladies....well, they know how much I love them!  Seriously.  I am blessed.

Trust me, plenty of more pictures, yarn, and things to share from Stitches! 

Thank you again for everyone who stopped by the Kollage Yarns booth to say hi!  I so appreciated it!


And a little thank you IGK pattern sale going on through Tuesday! All of my individually-sold patterns available here on the blog or at Ravelry are 20% off!  Thank you again!

Happy Stitches!!

You seem to be having a marvelous time. Thanks for sharing!

I'm so sad I forgot to take a photo with you this year! I bought that scarf, you know the beautiful one in the picture with you and the lovely model? I was planning to get your autograph (I'm such a groupie) but my timing stunk, as you were giving a talk at that time....sigh.

I totally meant to come over and say hi, but I seemed to have gotten the Stitches blindness. I was distracted by fiber. Perhaps I will make it over next year.
