Daily dose of fiber

I forgot some major knitting content from the weekend. On Saturday, I went to the Fabulous Fiber Fest in Santa Monica. I nearly passed out as I witnessed lace being made right in front of my eyes. This stuff made fair isle look like a walk in the park. The word tedious just rolls off these ladies' backs.

The highlight was a trip to the Habu booth. I wanted to see what all these New York ladies have been raving about.

I had no new projects in mind, so I really didn't know what to buy...but I loved what I saw, so I purchased a sample card, which is backordered until mid-October. They said they have a list of 100 people who are waiting for a sample book as well...business must be great at Habu.

I flitted around last night and worked a little bit on all four of my projects. Nice evening.

I've been to the Habu store, and the yarn is admirable -- when you think of all of that spinning. Like you, I had no project in mind, so I didn't buy anything. I'm quite drawn to the bamboo and the knitted yarn. Very cool stuff.
