I wasn't expecting much since all the reviews I heard gave it low marks for knitting/fiber related arts. Despite its reviews, I was pleasantly surprised. While other people concentrated on getting hard-to-find items, hot new trendy yarns, or something they hadn't tried before, I really just wanted sock yarn. Here's my modest haul:
We had a blast on the train to and from, and I think that was really the root of the good times. The yarn/fiber stands there were mostly webshops around the country, so it's not anything you couldn't get through the mail, and the entry fee might as well have been your postage. Still, it's nice to touch the fibers, sit and knit with the hens, and share our passion for knitting. Honestly, I think the ooh-ing and aah-ing over other other peoples yarn/projects (and having it reciprocated) is a considerable part of the fun.
Alex made banana bread and date-nut-whiskey bread for the train, and Andy is always good for diverting conversation :).
Here's my Penelope Craft partner, Dagmar at the knitting table. Isn't she cute!
All in all, it was really fun.
