Stitches West - some loot

Stitches West in Santa Clara never disappoints.  The classes were excellent and the vendors had wonderful yarns, kits, patterns and gee gaws.

Some Fleece Artist and Handmaiden came home with me.  I had first purchased Casbah at my LYS, Full Thread Ahead.  A Canadian retailer was at Stitches and had some other colorways. 

It's lovely stuff.  The small percentage of cashmere is noticeable by touch and the sheen of the yarn.

I also bought handspun for the first time.  I'm thinking a nice hat of this Fiber Fiend handspun:

A fun time was had by all and pics of the bobaknitters have been posted at Knitflix.
