Once we got to Northampton, we went to our yarny destination, Webs. Here are me, stariel, and bryghtrose in the yarn mecca.
We met up with a host of knittyboarders--theherocomplex, lindydiva, marymac, raeknits, djd, sunidesus, enallagma9, bluepeninsula, Batty, and Yarner--all of whom were lovely and awesome and much fun to hang out with. We wandered around Webs for a couple of hours, making many purchases and fondling much yarn, and then headed downtown for lunch. We also visited Northampton Wools. And since my blog involves poodles, how can I not include this picture of a poodle we met on the street? The poodle has a mustache!
(photo borrowed from Sunidesus)After we left Northampton, we headed for Grafton. I was riding with djd at this point, and we got a bit lost and ended up taking what turned out to be a rather scenic tour of Grafton, before finding the crew at Classic Yarns. After which, it was time to head home, very tired, but having had a lovely day.
And here's the loot I picked up!
Six skeins of Regia (from the sale shelves), one skein of Trekking XXL, and two skeins of Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock in Gold Hill. I also got a pair of size 0 Inox circulars. I'm all set for lots of sock knitting!

Yay! I guess we had plenty of photo ops, blogland might get a bit tired of the same pictures by the end of it. ;)
It was great to meet you yesterday!
I love your story about the day! It was really fun meeting you.
Your books are awesome!
Ohhh, I am jealous of the regia you got! They didn't have that color when I went. And I'd love to try Trekking someday. I am jealous!
