stuff i bought:
4 skeins of periwinkle sheep's exclusive rhinebeck 2011 colorway (periwinkleish light fingering)
2 skeins of dancing leaf waltz (alpaca/wool, in an orangy and pinkgrey blend to test knit faireattention's new cowl pattern)
6 skeins of bulky from shadyside farm (colorway is called blue but really a dark teal)
1 skein brooks farm macho (apparently only sold at shows; this one in natural so i can try to get a decent contrast with the 3 skeins i got at mdsw)
new swhorl spindle by jesh
pewtery spiral shawl pin by ?? (from jenniethepotter's booth)
fudge
