As usual, I took no good pictures while I was away – but the lovely and talented Jill Hanratty snapped this one of me, Kim Werker from Interweave Crochet magazine and Crochetme.com , and the eternally blogless but amazingly talented Doris Chan of Amazing Crochet Lace fame. And no, I am not standing on a box – that is an alarming combination of me being very tall and Kim and Doris being petite!
Why were we hanging out together? You will have to read the next Interweave Crochet magazine to find out! Well, that and we all happpen to genuinely like each other, which is nice!
Doris and I were doing book signings at different times in the same booth (The Elegant Ewe) so we saw each other at the changing of the guard. A somewhat confused crocheter handed me Doris’ book to sign and I acted like I was going to do it thinking she would realize that I wasn’t Doris and laugh, but she didn’t get it so I had to politely explain that it wasn’t my book. Another shining example of the fact that my humor is not necessarily everyone else’s.
I was working on the kid’s dress for the fashion show right up until the last possible moment, but all worked out in the end. There was another tween girl there too and they strolled the runway together. much to the delight of the cheering crowds. It was awesome – and I swear I will post photos of the dress once I actually take some. The kid and her model friend had about the same proportion to each other as we all do in the above photo – the kid will apparently be a very tall chip off the old block!
You’re such a good Mom…. giving up your socks just like that! 🙂
Very Cool to see the book out on it’s own in the world, swimming in the sea of life.
My mom dealt with that knitting situation by handing me the needles. Of course the needles were actually Tyranosaurus leg bones and I had to knit in a snow bank 10 feet deep.

Ha! I know what you mean. TOTALLY. Been there, done that.
