I am really into socks and shawls this year. Yoth was a super nice booth; they had beautiful earthy/taupe colors, which I love. I am going to make the Lorene shawl/vest by Cocoknits with the fig color Yoth yarns I got.
The Yoth booth; it was so crowded!
I also got several different project bags. The ones from Slipped Stitch Studio were super cute! Have you seen these Needle Nooks? They store everything I need when I am knitting socks on the go! I don't know why it took folks this long to come up with this idea.
Some of my goodies from Stitches West. Those two shawl buttons were from Yoth - just too cute!
I also got enough yarn to make the Iwo and Cameo shawl. I may have purchased a few skeins of yarn from Miss Babs.
Now check out the two photos below, and tell me what you see....
One photo shows that you can buy a pair of premade socks for $15. And the other photo shows that a ball of yarn to knit a pair of socks is also $15. So.... what did I buy? Two skeins of yarn, of course! I thought that was really funny.
Did you attend Stitches West? If so, please tell me what you got! I am curious what goodies you found!

Ooh, all that yarn looks wonderful! I wish I could knit faster. >_< How many balls of yarn do you need to make a pair of socks?
