Saturday, 12th September had been firmly etched into our psyche since the year before. Lame? Possibly..... Crazy? Absolutely!
Where: Meetup at The Bog
When: 7am
Breakfast: Compulsory
Destination: Bingeman's Center, Kitchener
With Laura at the wheel, the London gals set off. Kat navigated brilliantly! In back, Barb and I knit away happily, while Allie played with her game thingy - Barb worked on socks, and I worked on a scarf.
Once inside Bingeman's Center, OMG! A fibre frenzy. It was absolutely fabulous! There were more than 70 vendors! Of particular note: Alpaca Acres, The Black Lamb, Dye-version, Dyed in the Wool Handmade, Fibre Isle Fine Yarns, Philosopher's Wool Co., Pick Up Sticks, The Purple Purl, Serenity Knits, Shall We Knit?, Sheep Strings, Shelridge Farm, Spun Fibre Arts, Wellington Fibres, Yarn Indulgences, Van Der Rock, and Zen Yarn Garden.
Here's my haul:
(From left back: 5 x Creme Pinguin Tempo DK (for some preemie knitting), 1 x Pink BFL/Nylon Sock Yarn (Christmas knitting), Promethium Merino/Nylon Sock Yarn (my stash), Teal Mohair/Wool Light Worsted (Christmas knitting), 3 x Children's Lizard Mitts kits for my nieces). (From left front: 6 x Red Heart McIntosh Worsted (Ilderton Fair Knitting), 6 x wooden buttons for my Central Park Hoodie, 5mm Addi Turbo, 4mm Addi Crochet Hook, and a stitch counter)
I also picked up a Lendrum Niddy Noddy:
And earlier in the week:
