Stitches 2009 – a set on Flickr.
I think out of everyone Tracy took the most photos at Stitches this past weekend.
So many fun memories. So much laughing & NO DRAMA. Amazing, just amazing!

…more descending… on Flickr – Photo Sharing!.
Ah…Saturday at Stitches!

This is the yarn purchased by the 9 of us between Friday & Saturday of Stitches. Now, this does not include last minute purchases made Sunday before coming home.
Tons of merino sport weight hanks, lots of sock yarn, lots of  Noro, overall just a good haul!

Stitches West 2009 booty on Flickr – Photo Sharing!.
That is the load of yarn I got from Stitches this year.
Lots of sport weight merino from Newton’s Yarns. The 1 lb hanks were quite the seller this year.  I was too excited and balled them all up before thinking of taking pictures.
I know there are some pictures of the group yarn purchases, I will go find one & link it ;o)

Yards to Miles conversion calculator.
I just entered all of my Stitches West 2009 purchases into my Ravelry stash page & was interested in what mileage my yarn was up to.
Rowan is so good at keeping track of hers I thought I would jump on the bandwagon.
After exporting to Excel & figuring both my stash & Will trade or sell totals I am sitting on…wait for it…
164 MILES of yarn
Can you even comprehend that? I can’t but I thought I would share anyway ;o)

I admit it, I like fanny packs. I won’t ever wear one unless it is this cool. Therefore, I will make myself one, or two, at some point.
Anyone want to join in the fun??

Watch the video link, that’s my little brother up on the roof with the chain saw ;o)
And no, I don’t miss it. And in my firehouse he would owe us all ice cream for being on tv.
Pay up little brother!!

This is a very cool little tool & I will be keeping my eye out for them at Stitches!

Ravelry won’t have a booth this year at Stitches West.
My bad for getting any hopes up in meeting Casey & Jessica.
Casey says next year though, 2010 baby!
