Hangin' with the rich and famous
ok, maybe not that rich or famous, lol! We got to meet Vickie Howell, host of DIY's Knitty Gritty and get a book signed to my daughter... isn't she cute? Vickie too, of course! lol
We got to feel her new yarns too--much fondling, lol... milk fiber and cotton are YUMMY but my favorite is the bamboo/silk. The wool/hemp/soysilk is nice too. Wish I could afford some...
In other bloggy news, here's the simple stockinette instant-gratification type project I started up for dd, since the simple knitted bodice is actually the INSANELY TAKES FOREVER AND MAKES ME CRAZY knitted bodice. Good thing I love silk... and good thing I'm nearly to the lace and joining. It takes me an HOUR to do 1K row and 1P row. Agony on #4's. I thought briefly about doing the new thermal on knitty but it's on 2's and I will poke my eyeballs out with my knitting needles if I try that. So, no, for now.
and I hate how awful I look here. But here I am with Vickie, who is about exactly my height but weighs maybe half. :-) She's adorable and I LOVE her hair color...wish I could pull it off!
