The Yarn Harlot in Austin!

Jump to Comments

Yesterday evening, I got the privledge of getting to hear Yarn Harlot speak at Bookpeople!!!

Let me tell you… it was AWESOME!!!

I love her sense of humor and her very astute observations about knitter/non-knitter relations. Shoot, I even have a few ideas for some doctoral thesis projects that I’d love to explore further. I have to admit, she reminded me of my midwives a little bit and I was instantly at ease.  I wish I hadn’t have been as shy, but I’m so thrilled to have met one of my favorites bloggers that I read while NAKing (because knitting while nursing just doesn’t work so well all the time).  To top off the evening, I also got to see Stephanie, Steven, Julia, Stacy, and Abbe amongst all of the knitters there! A very special thank you to Abbe for letting me have her book for signing because Bookpeople was not quite prepared for all of us knitters looking to buy a book at the event.

The Boy was in attendance and was quite a trooper whilst dealing with post vax ick and teething pain. He was quite facinated by Steven and hopes to see him again when he’s feeling better. He’d also like for me to say that he very much loved the sock you were working on and would like to eat taste play with gently pet the yarn.

A few pictures taken by the wonderful Stephanie who graciously took our photograph!

YH: (to me about The Boy) So did you make that yourself?

LOL  love it! Really seriously, I’m still smiling over the whole exchange.

YH, me, and The Boy

Someone commented that we look a bit a like.  Don’t we though!?  I personally think that is very cool, eh?

A really great evening and I’m looking forward to seeing her again! Perhaps next time we’ll get to participate in some “beer-o-clock” festivities while working on our theta wave patterns (first pint is on me!)!
