If you don't want to read all about how I am a yarn glutton (aka wool pig) and see photographic proof, then this is not the post for you...if you do, then dive right in!
First up-my StitchesWest haul! I went a la Laura and Leslie and had my best friend be my personal shopper since she was there and I wasn't. I wanted things from new-to-me indies and she mega-helped (I've been looking an Invictus for awhile online so it was most excellent to have her in-person squish for me). And we all know I love bright and/or sparkly. The skein from a Fine Fish Yarns is definitely a pair of socks...the other one, I'm tempted to put together with a skein of something and make a large shawl.

This next picture may ignite a little bit of rage if you've been trying to get Lollipop Yarns and always either miss the update or get mega cart-jacked (because that's what usually happens to me). Apparently fortune was looking down on me that night because I managed to score 4 different skeins. I don't know what I did to deserve such luckiness, but I'm definitely not going to argue with it!!

Here's the whole big binge together! I have a lot of walking and knitting to do now to try and get back to even!
Happy knitting/Sunday!
Wow...awesome haul....I have to do another Stash Acquistion post, as I had a little jaunt to WEBS...lucky you with Lollipop yarns....but I'm finding so many yummy indie dyers...I belong to a group on Facebook, Addicted to Indie Dyers....it's pretty awesome...
