When did this turn into a craft blog?

Whatever, probably more interesting than posting videos from my cell phone (high quality!) of my dogs rolling around in the grass. Or maybe not.

Anyways, a few of you were curious to what I bought at the Knit & Crochet Show. Wonder no more. I present you with the Basket o' Portland Goodness!

We'll start with top center, the red paper looking stuff. This is a Habu linen (3 skeins). This stuff is so magical that Regina had to talk me down from buying about 9 skeins in 3 colors. And by talking me down she told me to work with it and if I needed more she'd bring it back from her next NY trip. That's a good friend.

That multi-colored stuff was free in our gift bag. Its Red Heart Heart & Sole with Aloe. Yes, yarn with Aloe. I'm not creative enough to make this up.

Next is that lovely purple cone...Habu silk & stainless steel. Of course now that I'm reading the description, I might need a second cone.

Next we have a thingy (technical term) to attach snaps. Bolt had the cutest purple cowgirl style snaps (which got buried in the picture) but as Regina pointed out, how am I going to put them on anything. So yeah. There's a snap application thingy. And, since I had the snap application thingy, I then found more cute snaps at Knittn Kitten.

The lime green yarn was in our Knit & Crochet Show gift bag. Coats & Clark. And that's all I have to say about that.

Fabric is a vintage cowboy print from Knittn Kitten.

Zippers from both Bolt & Knittn Kitten.

Pink tomato pin cushion from Knittn Kitten, 'cause you know, I needed a pink tomato pin cushion. Apparently there was a blue one. But I didn't see it. So that makes the blue tomato pin cushion a rumor.

Multicolored skeins of yarn are all Dicentra sock yarns. The BRIGHT fuchsia is also Dicentra but its not sock, just lace weight. And for me.

In the middle, below the Habu linen paper we have a purple Habu skein in either cotton or bamboo. I can't remember.

On the needles (Size 0!) we have Habu cashmere and under that are all the needles I bought (sizes 1, 2, & 3) from Village Spinning & Weaving. Seriously, they had every circular needle ever thought of by Addi. I'm sure they had other needles as well, but the BOXES of Addi were busy overwhelming me so I didn't notice.

Not pictured as it was in my work craft bag (for lunchtime) is my turtle WoolPet. I'm working on him right now. But hers is cuter. But I think I'm ok with that as she does this as a living and this is my very first needle felting project. So, there's that.

Yup, perfectly restrained in my Portland shopping.

Hmmm, maybe that video of Dick rolling around in the grass would have been more interesting.
