A fellow knitter and I drove down to Santa Clara today to attend Stitches West. I spent the first few hours helping out in the Mother Bear Project booth.

I helped out with selling kits and patterns, and telling people what the Mother Bear Project is all about. It was so fun to meet other bear knitters, and get other knitters/crocheters excited about making bears!
After that, my friend and I had lunch and browsed the marketplace. Some of my faves:

Incredibly, I only purchased two rovings and a shawl pin. I have so much more self control than I used to!!! Oh, the Malabrigo roving was a freebie at the Malabrigo booth, lucky me!!!
