Darn! I went very late and didn’t get to see you.
I can’t wait to see what you got. I splurged a little at the Tess booth. I didn’t have a lot of time to explore, so I stayed with the good old reliable sources…Brooks Farm and Tess. I think I did very well. 😀

It seems like you’re not establishing too many restrictions. I hope your budget doesn’t suffer the consequences. Good luck and happy shopping.

I’m with you on the stash outlook. After mucho purchases in the past 3 mos, I’m seriously contemplating one of those Knit From Your Stash pledges. OMG.
Have a good time there!

Our goals are very similar! I also have a problem with buying too much variegated sock yarn. Love to look at it – but it’s hard to knit a pattern with it. I’ll be looking at wheel and fiber mostly since I’m just getting into spinning. Hopefully I’ll see you there! It’d be fun to meet another Jody! (Who spells her name the right way!)

Those are two fine rules to follow. I feel the same way about my sock yarn – the multicolored stuff is great to look at, but the patterns I knit are more suited toward solids. I’m going to be MDSW (never been there before) – I don’t really need anything, but I will be one of the crazy girls going after the Koigu.

MDSW already? Where does the time go?

Those sound like eminently achievable goals. Me, I’m mostly looking for a good niddy-noddy and some new-to-me varietal wools.
Also–there is a bloggers’ meetup, at 1pm each day, near the performance stage (I think).

Looks like we have the same MD evolution going on – I also have my shortest list ever, and also plan to avoid the STR at all costs. I’m in agreement over the multicolor sock yarn – definitely check out Tess – her almost solids are soft, cushy and amazing to knit with and very economical! I plan on picking up a bunch. Check out Three Waters Farm also – nice semi solids there too.

I easily have a ton of yarn, not to mention recently hitting the Webs sale. I’m going to hit Brooks Farm as they always have nice stuff, another is Roz Houseknect of (I think) Dyed Dreams. She has a wide variety of items. The other place is Cloverhill there is a designer called Erin who is dyeing for them and she has both solids and a bunch of other things. I love her stuff in the shop, and even though I could go to the shop when it is a little calmer I now live out in the boonies and don’t get to visit the lys anymore.
this year I hope to enjoy it more as a leisure buyer. If I really speaks to me okay, but if not, it is still okay. Maybe buy some dyes for the white yarn that I have collected the past few months.

As you know, this is my first MDSW, so I am just going to try to enjoy the experience and come home with really nice yarn! I’m definitely in the market for some laceweight and sock yarn, some Tess and some Brooks Farm, Shelridge, etc…but I don’t want to fight the lines. I’ll be happy to look and purchase online….
