Ah Bendi! Where there was too much of some things, and not enough of others.
\nToo much good food. Great dinner in great company at Barzurk. Fantastic hot chocolate and truffles at the Chocolate Mill <\/a>in Daylesford. Awesome lunch in a wonderful bakery in Daylesford. A perfect breakfast at The Dispensary<\/a>. (Cannot recommend this place highly enough)
\nWay more alcohol than is good for any one person in the form of champagne (pretty good and moderately bad), red wine, an extremely odd Kahlua and Milk, Passionfruit Martinis and Lychee Martinis. (I think I’m allergic to lychees. Can’t think why else I’d wake up with such a headache the next morning!) We went to The Dispensary after dinner on Thursday night for dessert and coffee. That’s apparently a euphemism for Martini’s. Who knew? Their fudge is to die for, btw.
\nNot enough knitting. The whole time I was gone, I managed to knit a gusset and heel flap of a toe up sock.

\n(Knitabulous Supertwist Merino in the colourway “Emily’s Birthday”)
\nAnd a few repeats of a Clapotis.

\n(Waratah Fibres one-off yarn, purchased at the Bendigo Show 2 years ago!)
\nNot enough yarn purchases.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nThat’s the sum total of what I bought. Two 200g balls of Bendigo Cotton 4ply<\/a> in New Ochre (It’s not pink, even though it looks it), Three 200g balls of Bendigo Rustic<\/a> in 12ply, both bought from the Bendigo Woollen Mill.
\nFrom the show itself I got 2 125g balls of 4ply baby Alpaca from Tailored Strands<\/a>, and two balls of Lang Magic Sock Yarn.
\nThat’s it. I’m almost ashamed of myself.
\nAlso, not enough catching up with people I would’ve liked to have spent more time with! It’s all a bit overwhelming for me – so many people, so much to see, so little time, so many yarn fumes. It all went by too quickly.
\nAnd, as I’m sure some of you have noticed – not enough pink yarn! How did that happen?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
