There were several things I particularly wanted to buy there, but up at the top of the list - for both priority and the order in which I compiled said list - was more hand dyed mohair/romney blend yarn from Stoddart Family Farms, which you may remember from such finished objects as Sailor's Delight, Ady's Socks, and my lighter weight Watercolour Socks.
I could have ordered some online or I could have dropped in to the farmer's market in town one weekend (which was desperately tempting), but I decided to be strong and wait till the Frolic to stock up with more of this amazingly soft, warm, hardwearing yarn.

and a little skein of grey for a pair of textured socks.
The only hitch is that yesterday I took a class to learn a technique I've been trying to figure out for the last year, and now I wish I had two skeins of grey so I can make use of it, but I'll tell you more about that another day. By which time I may or may not have acquired a second skein of grey, ahem.

Oh, I wish I had known you were coming, I was working at the Cabin Fever booth and would have suggested you drop by for a meet up.
Oh rats!!! and I don't even think I made it to Cabin Fever - I'll make a point of it next time ;^) Will you be at the Kitchener Fair?
I saw you at the Frolic! Normally I'd introduce myself and say Hi but I'm talking funny these days. My dental woes made me shy.
I didn't get any Stoddart this year. I was on a limited budget and had to make some hard choices. You sure got some great colours. Gorgeous photos.
Gah! How did you know it was me and how did I miss you?? Sorry about the dental issues - I had a couple of years of Grownup Person Braces and though they were pretty non-invasive I can definitely relate ;^)
