So last Friday night I traded being at the yarn swap hosted by Brianne for a night at Chateau. It may not sound like a tough choice, but I really wanted to be there since it's been a while since all the Springfield Knitters were together. But I was there in spirit. Brianne and I met Thursday and did a pre-swap swap, and she took my bag of tradeable stash and she and Zarah swapped for me on Friday. So much for being on the yarn diet!
Holy cow! Do these girls know me or what? Definitely "my" colors!
Unbelievable. I know the photos aren't great, but here's what I came away with:
A ball of Noro Kureyon (courtesy of Zarah's leftover Lizard Ridge blanket)
4 balls of Rowan Yorkshire Tweed (2 dark brown and 2 light brown)
9 balls of KnitPicks Wool of the Andes (2 tan, 2 wheat, 4 chocolate, and 1 snickerdoodle)
2 balls of KnitPicks Essential in red
1 hank of KnitPicks Shadow in Redwood Forest (the same colorway my last pair of socks were made from!) and part of a leftover Shadow in a mystery color (I think it's Sunset Heather)
2 balls of a mystery variegated nubby yarn
1 large hank of Lorna's Laces in Bullfrogs and Butterflies
Some Sockotta, and 2 more mystery balls, as well as 2 patterns
I'm thinking I was the benefactor of some donations - there's no way I had that much to trade! So, thank you Brianne, Zarah, Meredith, and Linda - this was like Christmas! I couldn't have picked better selections if I'd been there in person. You girls are the best!

Oh yeah, definitely Christmas in May. :) Looks like you ended up with some great yarns.

Yeah... I think I might skip the next one! =) That multicolored yarn is Manos - perfect for a "My So-Called Scarf"!

You made out like a bandit that didn't get caught! Thanks for sharing your own stash with me. :)
