Well I was able to go to the Stitches Convention with my Aunt Sharon. Can I say wow what fun. Talk about having a little time to my self!!! What a wonderful way to have time to play with all different types of yarn. I was in heaven. I really thought I would buy more than what I did. But trying to choose from all the yarns was to much. I only bought stuff I couldn't find at home. Which was what I set out to do. Here's the list of yarns I bought. The pictures will be up soon to !!

That is all my loot !!
I did meet some really great people who were apart of Ravelry. Hello to all my new friends. I have to find everyone on there and add them to my friends.
While we were there it rained but it was nothing that my aunt and I haven't seen before except that all the California people where all bundled up like it was freezing there . But It was nice temps to us. I understand that it was cold for you California people. But what was with the boards holding the Palm trees up and the fences. I know palms have shallow roots but what about the fences.
We ate at two different place there one was called Hot Pot City !! It was a very cool experience. It was really neat it had a barbecue grill in the center of your table and all the food was raw. You cooked it at the table. Which was totally neat in the center of the grill was a pot of water so could make soup or cook noodles or vegetables. I loved it and I think my Aunt Sharon did to. I wish we had something like that here. So California people try it out you live there. I know I would go there again when I come back !!! The next place we ate at was a Black Angus Steakhouse. Let me tell you the atmosphere was like a high end restaurant but this was totally affordable . I was impressed when the manager heard it was are first time there and brought us some fried zucchini with a cucumber sauce and it wasn't no little plate either . It would fed about 4-6 people . My Aunt Sharon had a steak I had some flat bread with steak and blue cheese on it. Plus we had a shrimp and spinach artichoke dip with a spicy kick to it. Everything was wonderful. I would go there again as well. That was my trip in a nut shell!!
