he brought 45 balls of a cashmere and bamboo blend in lots of great colors - really saturated plums and greens; pretty pale pinks and blues; and creamy pastels perfect for someone's niece to be. my yarn stash was already bursting at the seams, so it looks like i need to get the needles moving asap.

he ended up adding a few more skeins to my collection this past weekend on a visit to charlottesville. while on the downtown mall, we went to the needle lady, an adorable LYS where i snagged 4 skeins of debbie bliss baby cashmerino for a tiny striped hat and sweater for a tiny little one on the way. these are my first official baby knits, so i'm excited to have at it - and this kid will surely be spoiled with lots of handmade gifts.
and i have a feeling that even more yarn purchases will be made this weekend in nyc. finished work is on the way.

Hi Rachel,
I’m promoting the upcoming Sugarloaf Crafts Festival in Timonium and thought as a crafter with an eye for style, you and the readers of BMORE CRAFTY would be interested in the show.
The show takes place October 2-4 at the Maryland State Fairgrounds where there will be more than 250 acclaimed artists from around the country exhibiting and selling their original handmade works, including fine art, fiber and fashion and jewelry.
The show will also feature live demonstrations, gourmet foods, and family entertainment including the interactive, live performance speed painting of Splash! Animals (www.splashanimals.com).
The official site for the show is http://sugarloafcrafts.com/festivals/timon/fall/ and you can check out the Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/SugarloafCrafts. Images of art on display at the show can be found here: http://sugarloafcrafts.com/pr/fall_timonium_photo.html
Please let me know if you would like more information. I can send along the press release and some tickets if you would like to attend the show and perhaps give some away on your blog.
Thanks!
Dan
