A friend of mine is an avid reader of Stephanie Pearl-McPhee's blog, The
Yarn Harlot. So she proposed that we drive up to Charlotte, NC after work
yesterday to see her at the bookstore where she was promoting her new book.
We had such a blast! She was hilarious and talked for about an hour. She
then answered questions and told funny stories. Afterwards, she signed
books and let everyone who wanted to take a photo with her holding the sock
she is currently knitting. If you brought a project to the signing, then
she would hold up your sock or project for the photo. She was just as nice
as could be and didn't rush anyone. I'm really glad I took the road trip,
even though it meant getting home at midnight. I had a hard time getting up
this morning for work, and my friend (and co-worker) who went with me didn't
even make it in to work today, as she had to drive another hour further to
get home last night. What a blast it was! My husband totally did not get
it. :-)

I saw her a few years ago when she came out our way. She is a very good
public speaker and very funny. I enjoyed her as much as you did! ;>)

I wish she would come back this way.

You lucky thing, you!! I so want her to stop here in SoCal somewhere,
but she doesn't have any stops scheduled...yet. I've been reading her
blog for about a year now, and she's hilarious and does some mighty fine
knitting, too.
