On Friday we went to the show early and did most of our shopping before the Women of Wool luncheon, which was more good friends, as well as a wonderful meal, some interesting speakers and rather a lot of wine.
There were dyers that I know I love, like My Creative Garage, and others who were new to me - including new favourites HodgePodge and The Autralian Yarn Co.
We then did some more shopping, before heading to Suzanne's for the traditional Friday night pizza event.
I was not very good at getting everyone (or even most people) in photos this trip!
On Saturday we watched the sheepdog trials, which I always find fascinating, ate lamb for lunch and went and looked at (and patted!) some sheep, as well as finishing off the shopping.
We had dinner with the Richmond Knitters and guests, including Shelly Husband, my crotchet idol!
Sunday Kris and I went out for breakfast before reluctantly making our way home.
Except for one skein of sock yarn and some minis, all the yarn I bought was on my list. I have yarn for Leon's winter set, at least one jumper for Leon, a three colour shawl, a brioche dress, a colourwork dress and one braid of spinning fibre.
I also did not hold back at the lifestyle tent, with garlic salt, pud-balls, herbal tea and a range of other items making their way home with me.
And I have put all this on Ravelry and my stashcount now stands at a very healthy 23,630 meters.
