Official Stitches Haul

As promised (to myself, I guess), here's the official photo of my Stitches haul, which represents:

• 20 skeins (99 yards each), black and green Fusion, PC-Dralon (whatever the heck that is)/wool/mohair, from Woolstock Knit Shop
• 1.19 pounds (1,600 yards), fall palette, Merino, from Newton Country Yarns
• Bone sweater stick, Gita Maria
• Clamshell bobbins and locking stitch markers, The Mannings Handweaving School and Supply Center
  

Please note that both Woolstock and Newton seem to be having identity crises. I notice that the names on the receipts don't match the names on their sites. Attention to detail is important folks. (See? Copy QC is all about picking up things like this. Maybe I should get in touch with them and see if they'd like a writing consult ... hmmm.) Nonetheless, the links are correct.

I don't know why, but attendees were forbidden from taking photos anywhere on The Market floor. I wasn't 100 percent sure that photos weren't kosher until the announcer said so. Hmm. I'm sure they have their reasons, but I'm curious about what those reasons are.

I'm whooped, so it's time to plant myself in my knitting nest and keep working on the first sleeve of my February Lady sweater.
