WIP Wednesday - Knitting Cables at Fiber Expo

While I was away at Fiber Expo this last weekend, I started knitting cables.  My Antarctica hat just grew once I got past the first cable row.  Why was I all freaked out?  I LOVE cabled patterns and they are super fun to knit.   Ok, this cable pattern is super fun to knit so they all have to be...right?  Of course!  Seriously, I have a cabled pattern wish list that fills a full binder full of projects I want to knit.









 Since I have been home, I have vowed not to touch my spinning wheel (and poor Frodo is sulking) so that I can finish this hat.  Only one more row then the decrease.  HOORAY! This hat will be submitted as a Nerd Wars challenge and it will also become a gift...now to decide who the recipient will be.


While at Fiber Expo, I was able to spend a lot of time with fellow fiber friends who were also vendors.  We were able to go out to dinner at night and chat at times throughout the day.  I have learned that you have to be careful where you stall because if you are directly across from awesome, you tend to spend most of your profits.  This time, I was stalled across from Jone and her amazing felted creations.
She owns Spectral Glass & Artworx.I walked away with a sassy felted tuxedo style vest and really wanted about ten other items.

Did I mention fun? Dreads felted by Suzanne Higgs of Hooked on Felt

I also had the opportunity to meet a couple of Ravelry friends who drove up from Ohio.  It's always fun to put a face and a voice to the friend that you chat with in the groups, especially since we send and receive swap gifts.  Now we have a personal connection if our names are ever drawn for each other.

 Finally,  I leave you with a few photos of my booth.  I am constantly changing it up depending on space and what product I take plus I was sharing space with Mama Melissa aka Melissa from Needle and Wheel Designs.
