I went to this year's Knit Nation with a large amount of money which I had been saving up to splash out on yarn. I have been knitting successfully through my stash all year and made a good dent in some of the less fancy pants yarns so I have saved up a wodge of cash to replace some of those lovely sock yarns.
I bought 3 skeins of Wollemeise Twin - expensive but good value for money as each skein is 150g not 100g!

Juno is a brand new indie dyer I discovered at the show. I made a beeline for the indie dyers only there were a couple of stalls stocking things like Rowan etc. but I can buy that anywhere so I was only interested in things I couldn't see in person at the local John Lewis. There was some great stuff on offer - although I didn't buy any at the time Fyberspates, Rennaissance Dyer and Old Maiden Aunt were also worth a shout out. In fact if I ever take up fair isle or do more colourwork I will be heading straight to the Rennaissance Dyer. It was particularly good catching up with Jon from Easyknits who I hadn't seen in ages.
I am still knitting through the less good stuff and have recently finished a pair of socks and am well on the way to finishing a big shawl out of my slightly less good stuff which is great.
