Last week when I was visiting my two Columbus, Ohio families, I popped into 614 Knit Studio to get a sock needle and some sock yarn to knit men’s socks. Believe it or not, I hadn’t taken enough knitting projects with me. I ended up staying almost ten days instead of five and had completed two projects. Thought I’d get a jump on some Christmas knitting.
When I was at the shop, a sign on the door said the shop was going to be closed Memorial Day Weekend because they were going to be a vendor at the Great Lakes Fiber Show in Wooster Ohio. When I entered Wooster into my Maps App it was a mere hour and fifteen minutes from Laura’s house and on the way home (sort of) to Pittsburgh.

I bought a merit badge pin for a couple of knitting friends. I had to tell Andrea it was because of her sign at her shop that I came to the Great Lakes Fiber Show

Recycled Yarn Co has an Etsy shop sells cranked tubes to make socks by adding cuff, heels and toes. I’ve knit several pairs of Opal yarn socks and it’s hardy and long wearing. Thanks to my friend Terry who introduced me to the brand.

Opal tubes!
You were obviously in crafting heaven
Wow! What an amazing collection of vendors.
Lots of tempting yarn, Pam.
Would have been great to have you with me, Pam.
I hope you bought a tube sock. What you would do with it I don’t know. I agree with Sheree. I love the basket too.
I bought two tubes! You make them into a pair of socks. Yes it was quite a show. Thanks, Hope.
Sensory overload! Some beautiful things there. Looks like lots of fun people also.

Thanks Marti.
What a day you had! And all because you needed a sock needle. dc
I know. Crazy, eh?
What a fabulous find. I liked the no dogs in the rabbit barn sign. Yup, dogs and rabbits could spell disaster!
It was definitely a fabulous find. Thanks for visiting and always leaving a good word.
It seems, from your beautiful pictures that you truly enjoyed the fiber show!
Wow, what an amazing show! So much talent there. Love the basket you got!
Love using that basket.
