Quick I-91 Shop Hop Recap

Over the weekend, KnittyLindsey and I traveled up and down I-91 from Vermont to Connecticut and visited 11 different yarn shops that were all participating in the I-91 Shop Hop!  The first night we stayed in MA and the second in CT.  Overall it was A LOT of fun!  We acquired lots and lots of new beautiful yarn too!  So much that we needed to buy totes to bring it all home. :) I know I posted some pics as the weekend unfolded, but here, in all its glory, is my new stash!!

Oooo look, it is peaking out of its new plastic tote!!




Day 1: 4 stores from Vermont to Massachusetts!


Day 2: 4 stores in Connecticut!



Day 3: 3 more stores in Connecticut!!




And finally, all of the yarn allllll together :).  I'm one happy hooker!!!

I-91 Shop Hop Pre-planning

This Friday to Sunday is the I-91 Shop Hop--a yarn crawl of 11 yarn stores up and down Rt. I-91 going from Vermont to Connecticut.  I, of course, will be in attendance :) and I'm quite excited about it!  I'll be going with KnittyLindsey and I think it will be quite the fun fiber adventure! We've done a yarn crawl in NJ together so we know we can hit the stores and be successful!

I would like to have at least a few projects in mind to shop for.  While I like buying random skeins of yarn, it feels better to be buying with a specific goal in mind.  Any ideas for any good patterns?  I've been working on the Central Park Hoodie (which btw has the back and both fronts done and I've started a sleeve) and I've really enjoyed that pattern. I think that I'd like to make it as a vest for my mom for Christmas.  Other than that, I'm not sure what to shop for!

Ideas of favorite patterns are welcome :). Pretty please!!! :)

Ink :-/

Ahhh there is ink, printer ink on my CPH!!!!!!  :-(. Ugh I had a printer returned to me and the ink leaked everywhere because it was turned on its side when it was returned. I noticed the leaking ink yesterday and now it is on my sweater :( :( :(.
