It seems that the yarn-hat is a theme...

Celebrity knitter spotting! Romi Hill with a Square (Erica was pleased).

And the purchasing begins (I swear I needed it for the baby!). Tess' Superwash Merino...

...and Raw Silk (ok, this one's not for the baby)...

...and Kitten (a very generous gift from Melinda), perhaps the softest yarn I've ever felt...

...cashmere...

...Whiskers (um, also not for the baby, oops)...

...and Baby Bunny, a superwash angora blend that is being turned into some booties as I write this.

I also got some Skaska Designs laceweight, for some sort of shawl/scarf.

And this isn't from Stitches, but Erica gave it to me that day...a gorgeous blue fingering weight from a new yarn shop in her native Vancouver.
A great day (especially for my credit card...), and again I'll say -- why can't we have more than one of these per year??
P.S. Tomorrow is the last day to purchase Gemma, the Kimono Wrap Cardigan, Cloudy Sunday, and Mirabor for $1.99!

Sounds like great fun! All that Tess yarn is just gorgeous -- I have to check out the superwash angora.
Looks like so much fun, wish I could have gone this year! I love that green Tess cashmere and the blue fingering weight non-Stitches yarn in particular.
One of these days I'm going to treat myself and attend a fiber event! Looks like you all had loads of fun and gobs of stash enhancement ~ really I must do this some day ;)
