KITH KC Yarn Haul

Posted on by

And the notable highlight of Knitting In The Heartland KC was the marketplace. I only did minor damage this year.

I picked up mostly one skein wonders. From Life’s a Stitch I got some magnesium lotion for my hands and a worsted skein of yarn for my hat stash. From Aunt Steph’s I got a matching small project bag and notions kit.

From Supernatural Yarns, I picked up more hat yarn this time with one DK skein and one tweed worsted skein. My biggest haul was from Potions Yarn. I got a red worsted skein for a Melt The Ice hat and then some fingering yarn and suri alpaca to make Jellybean a new fuzzy hat for next winter in ACID green.

And then lastly, from a new to me dyer I picked up some mini skeins in primary colors to play with to see how their yarn works up. I feel like this is a reasonable haul that helped vendors but didn’t blow my budget or increase my stash TOO hard, lol.

Happy Stashing!!

KITH KC Gift Bag

I took a weekend away to Knitting In The Heartland KC 2026. And because I signed up for a class, I got a swag bag.

Pretty standard haul with a plastic tote bag (could also be a stadium bag) and then some treats inside. I got a tape measure, a sticker, a spinning tool, a ball winding tool, scissors, color wheels (x2), yarn sample, a project tag and a tool kit.

The bag was pretty nice as it allowed me to collect my purchases and bits and bobs as I shopped and took classes. Stay tuned for tomorrow for my class stuff. I took a drop spindle class 🙂

Happy Crafting!!

KITHKC: Yarny Goodness

Yesterday I tantalized you with hidden Yarny treasures from my Knitting In The Heartland trip. Well here now are the goodies!


Nerd Girls Yarn – Bounce and Stomp in the Mutatis color way. This is a fingering 4-ply that’s 80/20 SW and nylon. It reminded me of my school colors and it had to come home with me! 
Show Me Yarns Bootheel in Party Cake Peeps color way. This is a light fingering 3-ply and the speckles were just too hard to resist!

This was my ultimate purchase! It is a 600 yard skein of fingering weight MCN from Treasure Goddess in Pieces of Eight color way. This took most of my budget but was TOTALLY worth it. I’m envisioning a beautiful shawl or scarf!

  This is Nymph Sock from Supernatural Yarns in the Hermoine Granger color way. I’m not a super HP fan but the color was too much to pass up!


Finally I picked up some bling fromThe Sexy Knitter. I got some new stitch markets and a pair of tiny snips for my mom and her embroidery.

I’ve now exhausted my yarn find so I need to be good for while to rebuild my reserve. I should have plenty of pretties to knit on though!

Happy Knitting!!

Knitting In The Heartland Recap

Oh, you didn’t know I was going to Knitting In The Heartland? Well neither did I! I was vaguely aware of its existence in Kansas City but my toddler addled brain didn’t retain specifics. On the Fridat it started I saw a FB post by one of my friends and I saw THE YARN HARLOT was going to be there. I just knew then and there I had to do. Unfortunately all the classes and Yarn Harlot pieces were long booked and I had family obligations as well. But I did manage to scrounge some time on Sunday to hit the market. (Many thanks to my husband for for the toddler free time.)

  
This is me super excited in the parking lot.

  
This is me being a dork and taking photos of the sign.

  
The glorious market of yumminess!

  
My t-shirt that made everyone laugh.

  
The damage I did in the market….

  
The t-shirt I got because I didn’t meet the Yarn Harlot but was super jazzed just to be in the same building. (I probably would have fan girled all over myself I had met her anyway, lol)

I truly had a great time at my first convention. It was small and comfortable so just the right speed for my first event. I did fan girl a tiny bit when I met Sarah of The Sexy Knitter etsy shop. Her items are gorgeous, her patterns are amazing, and she is stunning in person. I pulled my Sexy Knitter tin ftom her Cyber Monday Sale from my bag just to show her and she probably thought I was the crazy knitter my shirt advertised! 

Stay tuned tomorrow for details on my purchases!
