I will have a full post about the Knitter's Frolic, but right now, I'm pressed for time, and I'd rather wait until I can do it justice. But I do have knitting to show - I finished the coffee bean socks. These are a merino/tencel blend - I bought the yarn in Kitchener last year at the Sweet Sheep, and it's by xxx. Lovely stuff - soft and squooshy, a tiny bit splitty, but no immensely so. As you can see by the fit, these are not for me - either husband will be getting them, or another man on my Christmas list - we'll see. I did leave them out on the kitchen table, and I leave the house before my husband gets downstairs in the morning, so he may have already appropriated them!
Another FO - you've seen it before, but I have a modeled shot. Lucky was nice enough to take a picture of the hoodie on me while we were at the Frolic on Saturday. It is extremely comfortable to wear, but it does stretch with wearing. No biggie - I love it and it will get a lot of wear. If you can't wait to see what I bought, check Lucky's stuff - I bought similar, but as I said, time is short, so you'll have to wait to see what I came home with... I will say I was very good, and restrained myself to cash only. No credit cards were injured by me on Saturday!

And a fine haul you did make! Excellent shot of the sweater. What a fantastic photographer. I can attest to all, in person it is a really great piece. Well done!
I love it - it looks fabulous! One of those pieces that quickly becomes a staple in the wardrobe. What's the cast-off edge on the sleeves and hem? It looks like there is some kind of special finishing.

Like the sweater, it looks comfy!
"No credit cards were injured"... I love it!
I am looking forward to a synopsis of the Frolic. Since I couldn't make it, I will live vicariously through you!
