Surprise! Stephanie for Yarn Harlot fame, included Arizona on her
tour. She is one very brave person being from Canada and we had just
had a week of temps reaching 120F (48C). She came to city of Mesa and
had her lecture at the Fiber Factory. This is the firest time I'd
ever been to Fiber Factory and what a wonderful experiance it was!
Every kind of yarn, fiber and fun thing you could imagine as well as
books, patterns, all kinds of knitting tools and gadgets. One end of
the room was filled with spinning wheels and all kinds of looms-
apparently they teach weaving classes there. One wall was devoted to
shuttles and all kinds of weaving and spinning supplies. The place was
packed with knitters. Living in the desert, I don't personally know
too many people who knit but it was great seeing all of them and all of
the different kinds of projects everyone brought along to work on and
show off.
Yarn Harlot was very funny- what a lovely, down to earth type of
person! She brought along the gorgeous Norwegian sweater she made
during the 16 day knitting olympics as well as the sock in progress she
always travels with.
Had a great time and Stephanie autographed her new book for me-
Knitting Rules. She wrote "Obssession is Normal" LOL! The owner
kept the shop part open quite late so we would all have a chance to
browse and purchase. I sort of behaved myself......did manage to get
hold of several hanks of hand spun wool/mohair blend for only $7.00US
for a bolero I'm planning to make, along with just a couple balls of
wool for socks. My sister however ran right over and snatched up some
balls of the most beautiful hand dyed mohair you ever saw- in a
varigated rose/pink and grey combo. Show off!!! She KNEW I liked that
but it wasn't *my colour*......but she- being a natural blond was made
to wear it! Humphhhhh
Wish all of you could have come along that night, had a great time!

She came to Winnipeg last summer, so my friends & I got to see and hear her.
She is very humerous, and as you say, very down to earth. I thoroughly
enjoyed our evening with her. In Winnipeg she was at a local bookstore, and
I got her to sign my copy of "At Knit's End".

I don't have her new book yet, but am intending to pick it up. Glad you
enjoyed her!

This new book is great. She has included in most of the chapters
ways to work out basic patterns....everything from shawls to socks.
You can take it from there with the embellishing or textures.
