Good times
A huge thank you to Heidi and everyone who came to book signing/celebration. It's not often that you get to spend an afternoon with designers (by the end of the day we had 5 in the room) and indulge in knitting talk.
To make things even better, Heidi offered to let us keep the samples from her book for a few more days. So, we'll have an on-going trunk show. Check out some of the projects.
The book signing came on the heels of an awesome Knit at Night. Something must have been in the air, because the filters were off and the conversation was thoroughly entertaining.
There were also a few finished works to show.
Mara stopped in with her beaded Odessa hat
Sandy made the most gorgeous lace scarf out of tilli tomas beaded silk. And she made it as a gift. She is going to GIVE IT AWAY! She is a better woman than I.
Karen had her beautiful shawl (knit in Spunky Rustic Silk) blocked and ready to share.
Thanks everyone!
I've spent the past few days working on my Citrus Yoke Pullover. It is such a comforting knit - something I desperately needed. I tried it on yesterday and was really pleased with the look and fit.
Today, I'm in full storm-prep mode. I'm like a little kid with snow storms. Peter curses them, largely because he does the shoveling, snowblowing, etc... . I get to stay inside, knit, cook, etc... Pretty sweet deal, hun?
He's going to be heading out with the rest of the masses to the grocery store. Now, I would like to point out that we are typically NOT those people who rush to the store before a storm. Quite the opposite. We're usually laughing at those people. Because, really. Do you think you'll be trapped in your house for weeks? Unfortunately, we are those people who have neglected to do the grocery shopping so we have no food in the house.
While he does that, I'm going to knit. Check out the zipper situation on my Rogue. Do a little holiday decorating. Perhaps make some cookies.
And wait for snow.
