Scarlet Skein Event

Abe and I drove down from San Francisco to Atascasdero this past weekend for a Closely Knit event at The Scarlet Skein. Alana and I finally got to meet!

Traditionally, we knit the heart from Closely Knit together.

Thanks to everyone who came down, what a super high quality group of knitters!

Afterward Alana, Malaree and I had some knitting time together.

I will show you the project in my lap soon…

Who’s going to Rhinebeck? I am! Carrie and I will be there poking around Saturday, and at the Ravelry party Saturday night (hopefully…I have a stupid cold right now).

Sunday I will be in the authors tent ALL DAY, starting at 10, signing copies of Closely Knit. Please come and say hi!

Nashoba Valley Knitting Guild

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!

Article Pract Yarn Tasting

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!

Knit This, Purl That Book Signing

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!

There is a group knitting my Cap Sleeved Eyelet Top down at Knitwit on Saturday afternoons. It’s exciting to see them coming to life!

Karen is knitting the top with Canopy, worsted weight, by The Fibre Company – pretty!
