Friday was scheduled as a flex, but Thursday, I decided to move it out a week in time for my trip to Reno for a business conference. As a last minute idea, I decided to go to Vancouver to check out the sale at Three Bags Full. Megan B. came along, and we had a great time, and saw quite a bit. The sale was packed with people - 20 to 30% off most yarns, and some were 50%, and 70% off. Incredible Blue Sky Alpacas yarns on sale, and I picked up some teal alpaca silk to round out the 4 skeins I already had in Stash. Intended for the Lacy Wrap sweater (designed for cotton).
The gauge looks like it'll be a match, so that's on my queue next. Hopefully, I can get through my current projects soon so I can start that one next. I found also another skein of the organic cotton in bone to add to the 3 that irunnnaked (ravelry) sent in her swap pkg, and found a very nice pattern online that needs 4 skeins. How lucky is that ! - the pattern is Ophelia, and it's a lacy kind of wrap that is short sleeve.
and can you say (drum roll please) - Mmmmmalabrigo -
Hollyhock
Fuchsia
Vigo
Hot pink Silky Merino
Mary caught me mid-lineup in an incriminating sliding clear off my yarn diet pose - with a basket full of goodies some of which I have to admit were put back as the line wound around the store.

Ooooh...look at all that yummy Malabrigo! Including my favourite shade, the fuchsia. :-)
We were at TBF at the same time, methinks...I'm in the photo on Mary's blog!
Oh good you found the photo! :) There you go. Evidence! :D Glad you had a good time though. Sales like that are so much fun!
