Stitches Update! (Boy, Did I blow my Stashdown plan!)

The best laid plans of mice and knitters often go awry....   (Quote massacred from Of Mice and Men.)

My final stashdown figure was 3916 yards knitted from May 2009 until September 11, 2009.  My plan had been to buy only half of what I had knit up or 1958 yards......  By the end of the day, I had accumulated over 13,000 yards in 93 skeins!  What was I thinking?

I have a very good answer for destroying my best laid plans.  I only bought 4 of 93 skeins at full price!  I have enough yarn of some types/colors to make the Laporte bag for our KAL, approximately 6 sweaters, a scarf and mitts, and 2 pairs of socks....  In addition, where else but Stitches can I find tons of Rachel friendly yarn for the knitting/crocheting.

 
That is a quick photo of my loot.  I am super excited to start some of the projects I have planned with the yarn.
How did everyone else do at Stitches (if you went)?
