You bought some yummy, yummy yarns. Wish I had found the Larkspur Funny Farm before I ran out of money;-)

It's funny, we were in some of the same booths the whole day! I bought some BFY, P&F and Skaska (Superlamb) as well. Love the things you bought. The BFY is absolutely gorgeous. I have to say though, I have absolutely no buyer's remorse.

Oh, I have lots of suggestions for your new yarn; and all of them involve shifting ownership my way.

Ahhh! I am so haunted because I have been kicking myself in the pants since last October/Rhinebeck when I WALKED AWAY from the Brooks Farms stall without BUYING ANYTHING! What was I thinking? What? That yarn is amazing and knits beautifully.
You have some great stuff there. What a haul :-)
