gypsyspinner: The Knitter's Fair

Lacey Merino/Silk from Sericin Silk Works

Dyed Bombyx Silk ( I have a weakness.... OK)

Another weakness...Cashmere roving from Becky (Roving Winds Farm)

Needles make me weak. Never tried the DyakCrafts before.

I just had to splurge on a set of Signature needles. 2.75mm double-points. Boy they are tiny.

A Merino/Cashmere/Nylon sock blend for DH from Indiodragonfly.

I got to meet the talented American designer Anne Hanson. Anne is very sweet in person and I was lucky enough to receive two hugs from her :-)

Fellow Ontario blogger Laurie is fun and tall ( I was standing on my tiptoes in that pic hehe)!

My Knitgroup girls were there for the first time also. I really enjoyed having so many wonderful people around me :-)
