Whatta week. during the course of this past week I have, with the help of my friend, sis, guru-Lynne, mastered the turkish cast-on hanging out in the tranquil garden. She also got me started on 2 sox on 2 circs. Unfortunately, I got hit with a virus so I was out of it on Friday. I returned from the doctors office long enough to watch knitty gritty on DYI Then I'm out til 4:30.
Sunday was incredible fun! Lynne picked me up at 10:30 where we headed to Ann Arbor to meet non other than the yarn harlot herself, Stephanie Pearl-McPhee at the AA library. As she does in her books, she had all 400 of us knitter in well...stitches! Imagine the bonding in that room as well as the packed conference room 3 floors up! Needles clacking, people gabbing about, yarn, patterns, families living with us addicts. Stephanie informed us that we are 50 million strong! Imagine all 50,000,000 meeting on the White house lawn, or lobbying in congress!
Needless to say, I bought her other 2 book, Yarn Harlot, and Rules on Knitting. I already had Knit Wit. My ever so supportive husband likes to page thru that one and laugh at the passages that remind him of me. So she signed that one to him.
More later when Sis Lynne sends the pix.
