Here's what I got!

What no philosophising? No boring family anecdotes? You mean actual pictures of *gasp* yarn and *gasp* more knitting?

Yes siree.

Here are a few wee things I picked up at Bendigo this year...



Now lets see if I can remember them all...Polwarth natural chocolate (on the needles), Mayhem & Chaos 100% Alpaca, laceweight (a prize no less! for runner up in the Ravelry lace garments comp!) Wooldancer 100% organic merino in a rainbow colourway, Pear Tree Merino 4 ply, Ixchel laceweight cashmere/merino blend, some lovely soaps (destined to become this years kinder teacher Christmas presents), and some gorgeous gorgeous buttons (around which garments shall be fashioned to suit)

Was lovely to meet and catch up with so many Ravelry peeps, special mention of course to the Ballarat posse of Sam and Jacki, and fellow stitch and bitcher Kylie!

Looking forward to next year already :).
