The Swag - Just In Time for the Oscars

Ever wonder what swag Oscar star attendees take home? Take a gander here.

Maureen and I took home our own swag. Being the good friend that I am, I did not take photographic evidence of Maureen's haul and my lips are sealed as to exact details. But I can tell you that she spent the better part of each evening on her bed, surrounded by her purchases, reveling in the fibercopia.

The damage from this weekend.

First, the patterns. In addition to Beth Brown Reinsel's Celtic Dreams, I bought the following at Yarn Cafe, Needlework Unlimited, and Borealis Yarns.







Now...what you've been waiting for...the yarn.

From Yarn Cafe - Cherry Tree Hill's Sockittome.


From Borealis Yarns - Araucania Aysen, a small Laurel Burch bag, and Plymouth Happy Feet.




From Needlework Unlimited - Araucania Ranco Multi, Berroco Ultra Alpaca Light, and Manos del Uruguay Silk Blend




Oh, and I also bought blocking wires...which was the only item I had planned on purchasing this weekend. HA! Famous last words...best laid plans...and all that.

You did good! I love the Araucania Aysen and the other Araucania yarn as well. It is a good thing you bought all those lace patterns since it would be a waste to have blocking wires and then no lace to use them on. I would say that you were just planning ahead.

Oh, lovely! I'm very jealous. Think my fave is the Happy Feet, and those lace patterns look fun.

If only the goodies were free like the celebs get...
