Knitters Unite!

Money in lost wadges ...$$.$$

Time standing in line...1 hour


Seeing the Yarn Harlot..... Priceless



This is one of my idles, Stephanie Pearl McPhee, aka the Yarn Harlot http://www.yarnharlot.ca/blog/. She is a knitter extraordinaire and a wonderful author. It was a highlight for me to meet her and one of the best events I have ever attended. I sat on the edge of my chair with a grin from ear to ear the entire time. I loved being surrounded by fellow knitters who share the same passion as I do. (Shout out to my new friend, Katie, from Oklahoma, hope you enjoy the rest of your trip in AK.)


Here are a few more shots from her reading. The infamous sock shot, and just Stephanie speaking.


Oh yeah, and I did the Alaska Run for Women. 5 miles! All proceeds go to breast cancer awareness and it was a very inspiring event. (yes, I ran all 5 miles)

Great pictures! It was so nice meeting you at the book signing. And isn't it fun listening to the Harlot? I was grinning from ear to ear, too.

I'm in Seward now, at the library--trying to check on my husband's status on Denali but they haven't posted yet...AARGH!

I went kayaking at Fox Island yesterday. It's so beautiful here, I don't want to leave!
