Of course, at trip to the yarn store would not be complete with out a few purchases.
A little mediumweight Socks that Rock for the Milkweed shawl. I've started this already and am really loving it already. I missed lace knitting.
I also got a pattern to make a shrug out of Dream In Color yarn.
Remember way back when I wanted to make Talia, and was sabotaged by the cats? Well, I don't think I can really return to that project thanks to the bad mojo. So, I got this new pattern; I'll probably frog the partially done Talia in a few weeks or so.
The last thing I got was totally spur of the moment. Lettuce Knit was having a 50% off Lexie Barnes sale. In a moment of weakness, I got myself this.
A Lady B in Utopia. It's too big for me to use as a day to day bag, but I really like it for all sorts of other reasons. With the new house, I've got all sorts of rooms where I can knit, so I actually use it to haul all my knitting gear around - from the garden, to the sunroom, to the couch by the TV, to upstairs. The bag holds pretty much all the knitting and crochet needles that I own, and a whole lotta yarn for whatever project I feel like working on at the moment. I can see this bag being great for drives to Ottawa. Only downside is that the Lady B is so nice and roomy that the temptation to cram it full is always there, which leads to a really heavy bag. I tried it out as my day-to-day bag once, and really did cram it full. My arms and shoulders weren't happy with me afterward.
I'll have some photos of my Milkweed in progress when I get a bit further along!

Yay for stash enhancement! Great deal on the bag, and I'm glad you're getting so much use out of it (and also jealous that you've got a sunroom =P)!
You'll definitely have to let me know how you like the drop spindling -- I haven't touched my spindle in ages and ages. I think I'm just too impatient for it; if I'm serious about wanting to spin I'll have to bite the bullet and start trying out wheels. =)
