I went with Lynette and Monica (of Passion Knit) to the Midwest Fiber and Folk Art Fair last weekend. It was my first time there, and I was very impressed. There were some great vendors with gorgeous yarn and other fiber accessories. I'm on a budget now, so I was very frugal and didn't get much.
However, The Fold in Marengo, IL, had a booth there, and all their Blue Moon Fibers yarn was 25% off, so I got a skein of Slinky, a cotton, nylon, and polyamide ribbon yarn. I'm using it to make yet another scarf.
It's just plain garter stitch, but when I'm done, I plan to drop a few stitches at random to make a ladder stripe pattern.
One of the vendors was selling these awesome Kaffe Fasset-patterned recyclable shopping bags. I resisted at first, but when I saw that it has interior pockets and a velcro closure, I was sold.
It came in very handy when I went to the Daley Plaza farmers market this morning. Be on the lookout for this bag. All the cool kids have 'em.
