It's been a while since I could get back. All because of stitches. (as you can see on the left, i'm the pregnant one on the right)It was an awesome show and I got some great loot but man was it tiring. Holy crap being on your feet for an average of 9 hours a day when your pregnant sucks. I've been checking my legs for varicose veins(I really don't want them). I already have a few from a long time ago when I worked retail but I think that they are getting bigger. Screw that!
So my loot.... I got some great deals I scoured all of the sale bins and tables and found some other must have items. The unfortunate thing is that they did not allow ANY cameras at the show not that I didn't get at least one of me in my booth but we had to be all covert and stuff these are from a camera phone that's why they suck so bad. So I have no pictures of my gotta have list. The other thing is that I know for a fact just from
talking to some suppliers that there were vendors charging 150% on top of what they bought it for. So it was a bit pricey. In all other ways though the show was fantastic there was so much of everything you could ever want there. Knitting needles made from hardwood but polished so nicely that you couldn't even feel the grain. Silk everywhere in every weight of yarn you could imagine. Some angora or mohair yarn that looked smaller than sewing machine thread. Things actually made from this thread! They had buttons and all kinds of sock yarn and skeins that were more than 100 grams, there were several places who had monster 8 ounce skeins dyed, undyed, and hand-dyed. After leaving I realized I wanted to go back but definitely not to work, just to shop! So my search for the next yarn show (where I don't have to work) begins. In the process I will just have to save up my money. Pictures of my loot will follow with descriptions but I will save that for tomorrow. For now I am just content to relax and not stand or walk anywhere.
