The BackBou did a great job of just taking the kids away to look at dogs and sheep and funnel cake while I was browsing stalls with Liz and standing for an hour in the Socks That Rock line.
But now I have my first skeins of STR! There are some rockin' BSJs are in my future ...
I won't bore everyone with a stash enhancement report (I did well), instead I'll show you the great picture from the day ...
Aileen, Sally, Lolly, Isel, Liz, a mystery guest, and Jenna. As you can see from the "Rabbits" sign, we were at the packed Ravelry meet-up.
And now for a FO!
Pattern: Syncopated Caps by Kate Gilbert, Interweave Knits Summer 2007
Yarn: Plain and Fancy Sheep and Wool Co
Needles: US 4s
Notes: No pattern mods even though I thought I would need to add some length. However, I knit the women's size and it fit me perfectly. The yarn, as I've said before, is a dream. Knit with it. Love it.
I had bought the yarn so that R and I would have matching caps, but she really, really wants this to be an end-of-the-year present for one of her teachers. I can't say no since I love her almost as much as R does.

I'm impressed that you were willing to stand in line for the STR ... I had no desire to, even though I really like the yarn!
Those are really great hats - I may have to try that pattern.
(Sorry I missed seeing you on Saturday!)
I was thrilled to meet you, Ann! :) LOVE the hats!
(and the mystery guest is Amy "felinemagnet" on Ravelry)
It was wonderful to meet you and your family, Ann! I do hope we can all get together and knit soon.
;o)
Rocking the syncopation!
I was too starstuck to introduce myself to Lolly, but I wanted to. I am such a fan!
I started a bsj w/ on of the skeins of str--its better than I imagined. only problem is I have no baby to give it to!
Trust me, stash enhancement is never boring!
How fun!
Wonderful hats!
It was great fun to meet you! Congrats on the STR score - I don't have to fortitude to stand in that line.
The hats are really lovely! The str would be great in that pattern, too...
I am so glad I finally got to meet you and your family. You know you are always welcome here in PA. We don't bite, I promise.
We had an awesome day, didn't we?
