Back from the other side

It's time to wake up from hibernation. Stitches West is next week and we are busily getting ready to hit the road again.

WOW! Stitches is over, actually it's been over for almost a week.  The trip up was uneventful, which is fine. We did see thousands and thousands of almond trees in bloom which made for pleasant driving.

Stitches itself was fun, knitters are way more excitable than weavers.  I have never seen an over 40 weaver squeal and jump up and down.  As this was our first show of the season it was nice to see our vendor friends.  John Marshall found a stash of real gold thread that is to die for.  Takako of Habu had the models from a knit book being published this month using her yarns. Diane and Kathie of Just Our Yarns had many new patterns for their beautiful tensel space dyed yarns. And of course Morgaine of Carolina Homespun, one of my most favorite booths.  I also tried a new moisturizer from bar-maids.com, this is great stuff!  As is our custom, we finished off the weekend with dinner with Lisa and Charlotte at the Hilton Restaurant, we laughed until our faces hurt.

Another uneventful trip home made for a perfect weekend.

Stitches West 2010
The trip from Acton to Santa Clara was very beautiful, everything was green and the almond trees are all in bloom. It rained once we got North on 5 and rained part of the way on 152.  All in all, not a bad trip.

Stitches West

The rains came back, more mud.

RedFish DyeWorks is leaving for Santa Clara, home of Stitches West, the 23rd. This is our first show of the season and we have lots of new yarns and colors.
