That's me during the Saturday afternoon Knit Couture workshop, front and centre, obviously the one with the huge belly.
I also bought some fantastic yarn at the market they had on Sunday. There was so much gorgeous stuff it was hard to decide, but in the end I got 5 different colours of The Fibre Company's Road to China Light, and Boudicca picked out a skein of SweetGeorgia Yarns' Tough Love Sock. All bought from Great Southern Yarns, normally an online only shop. That's one of the great things about KAN. You get to see and feel in person a lot of the yarns you usually only get to see on a computer screen.
The Road to China Light is so incredibly luxuriously soft. I think I'm going to make decadent fingerless mitts with them. And Boudicca has already decided she wants to make leg warmers out of her selection.
And for all that the retreat is called KNIT August Nights, I've actually been crocheting a lot, and my latest crochet project is what I brought along to work on during free time. It's a Snuggle Blanket for my baby #3 due next month from the book Cute Crochet for Tiny Tots
The yarn I used is Harvest from Skeinz (who put on the KAN retreat), a lovely blend of mohair, alpaca, silk, possum, cashmere, tencel, merino, and acrylic.
Now that I'm all inspired by KAN, I can't wait to get to my next project!

Absolutely love that blanket Kya - the colours are an unusual but stunning mix. Can't wait to see Boudicca's leg warmers!
Look at ll those happy ladies! Agree with Mel awesome blanket.
What an awesome way to spend a day! I am visiting your blog from the previous nz handmade blog hop - it takes me awhile to work my way through! I love the blanket too - and being that this is a couple of weeks after you posted it, you must be very close to welcoming your tummy into the world! Blessings on you at this time! xx
Can you post the pattern?
Nice post. It is really interesting. Thanks for sharing the post!
