I got a sweater's worth of yarn from Peace Fleece!
Oh how I love this color...
I already did up a swatch.
I'm thinking of doing this sweater: Forestry (Old Penny Cardigan) I never would have thought about this pattern based on the picture in the magazine - but there are some great ones on ravelry.
The only other yarn I got was this beautiful sock yarn from Three Irish Girls:
I'm knitting the Mad Color Weave socks with it and I love how it's coming out so far.
This was definitely a year for roving and fiber.
I got this gorgeous assortment of fiber and I can't wait to spin it up.
There is some Woolarina, Grafton Fibers and Cloverhill in there from the cloverhill booth, a giant ball of Spinner's Hill roving and some Barletyarns roving in there.
Here are some closeups:
I also got some goodies from Sarah! She not only made me that gorgeous skirt in yesterday's post - she also sewed this cute pin cushion!
AND she let me borrow her hand carders and combs to try!
I can't wait to wash some fleece and give these a whirl.
In non fibery purchases - I bought Karida's new book and a lovely walnut niddy noddy:
And I also got this antique bobbin:
I plan to make a lamp out of it.
Stay tuned for more in progres pics!

Wonderful loot :)
I love all your loot.
Especially since I got some of the same things.
Ironically, I forgot to save MYSELF a pin cusion. Guess I have to make another one.
I'm going in to pretty purchase overload! I LOVE that Peace Fleece! The color's so brilliant. I'm surprised I didn't bump into you at all at MDSW.
Gorgeous loot!!!
LOVE the peace fleece! the color is AMAZING!!!!! And all that fiber - you have some wonderful spinning in your future! Sorry I missed you guys....
I thought I recognized most of the rovings as coming from the Clover Hill booth. And funny that you and Sarah both booth from Spinners Hill.
And aren't the pin cushions super cute? I love mine too.
You just gave me a new sweater idea. I can't wait to see your's knit up.

Lovely! I can't wait to see how your roving/tops turn out as your spinning ALWAYS motivates me! I am also interested in your progress with the combs and carders - we have been using these in my Spinning Certificate Course. Next month is on blending fibres... off to spin after reading your post. Thanks!
gorgeous! Please share - what's the colorway of that Three Irish Girls yarn? It's stunning!
Very nice! I jsut came by to check out the wristlet tute. It's fantastic! I'd love to link to it if you didn't mind.
Nice haul! I especially love the green sweater and sock yarn :)
That pin cushion is really adorable!
