Swatchy Green's First Adventure

Swatchy Green started the day off on the Rosie's bus, helping Karen knit her Morning Surf Scarf.

He also made friends with Wendy and Kelly.

Before we knew it, we were at MDS&W, but a lot of people got there before us!

Swatchy hung out at the Flock Bransona's booth & made a friend while Karen bought some yarn and oogled the roving. Swatchy couldn't help himself - he tried on earrings and scarves:

Swatchy had $20 to spend, and couldn't resist buying himself a "Learn to Knit Kit" from

NeatoGroovy.com

Luckily it came with it's own bag, because Swatchy still had money left to spend.

Swatchy thought about buying some STR from the Fold, but ended up passing.

Ohhh, fiber. Yummy!

Swatchy couldn't leave without checking out the cool stuff vying for ribbons:

Then it was 12:00, and there was nothing to do except grab some curly fries and wait ....

Meet Swatchy Green

I'll admit it. I posted a bit of a pout over on Ravelry, asking if anyone might be willing to carry a Swatchy to Maryland Sheep and Wool because I am missing it AGAIN. Luckily for me, Karen came through. So inspired by Earth Day, the rebirth of spring in my backyard, and to be honest - what I had in the scrap bag - I am proud to introduce Swatchy Green:



I made him an extra large tote bag for all his yarn purchases.



What is especially exciting about Green is that he will be traveling to MDSW on the Rosie's bus. I expect him to make a lot of friends! PLUS, Karen said she will take him to the Ravelry gathering on Saturday! Fingers crossed that we can score a photo with Casey or Jess!
