Stitches was a fabulous successes!

We had so much fun playing with all of our yarns that we brought! We were flanked by walls of solid yarn; Bundles of all the colors of Manos on our left, and hundreds of skeins of Mountain Colors Weavers Wool Quarters on our right.
And stretched out behind us was our piece de resistance, our eighteen foot long wall of Mission Falls Yarns! We had every color in all of the yarns that they make. Mission Falls is one company who is particularly good at having colors that go well together, and seeing all of the blocks of all of their colors, in all of the fibers, in order from beginning to end, was just a thrill! If only the shelves of these yarns at our store would stay so organized…
My mom was so enthralled with sitting surrounded by Mission Falls all week, she was reminded of her ongoing love affair with the stuff. So much so that in her hazy tired state post show, in the dark and cold of the rattling moving van, she decided to make herself another sweater! Of course, black was the “color” choice, and “black” was the only thing she could see in the dark of the car. She ended up having to pull out the whole six inches she got finished on the way home due to the unintended zig and zag that was influenced by the pattern much less so then the road. Despite the setback, she started again and has almost the whole back done already!

All in all, we have had a very busy month here are Flying Fingers. Now I’m off to my brother Jefferson’s Birthday party. With six siblings, I’m always heading to someones!
Happy knitting~ Dillon
