Last Wednesday I went to visit my Aunt Lynn in Harvard, MA.

It is one of the cutest towns ever.  After spending the afternoon hanging out at her house and shopping at The Wool Pack, I attended her guild meeting.  I was able to present my book to knitters who had helped me with some of the pieces from Closely Knit.

I also got to meet Ellen, who started Ellie’s Reclaimed Cashmere.  She finds “abandoned” cashmere sweaters and recycles the yarn.  If you are in Portland, Anna carries it at Knitwit.  Ellen is sending me some to play with, I will write about it once it arrives!

Deb shared her completed top from the knit-a-long.  She used Classic Elite Miracle - nice work!

I have just made an addition to the Hearts Pant pattern and posted it on the errata page.

A sweet and concise review of Closely Knit is here.

Jessica interviewed me for the My Craftivity website. You can read it here.

Aija has knit so many hearts! The pattern is from Closely Knit…

I heart Article Pract.

I could spend a frightening amount of money in this shop.  Christina has fabulous taste in yarn!

Note Abe in the knit shop.  Even he couldn’t get over how super cool it was there.

The yarn tasting featured yarns from Closely Knit, especially The Fibre Company (of course!)

We used the yarn to knit the heart pin from Closely Knit.

Thanks, everyone.  Super fun!

I drove over the Bay Bridge for the first time ever and made my way to Knit This, Purl That in Pleasanton.  Despite it being an exceptionally warm day, there was a great turn out.  Thanks to every one who came down!

Glenna had already marked all the patterns she wants to make, color coded by yarn she already has and yarn she needs to get.  I can’t wait to see some finished products!
