Last Friday, the Yarn Harlot, Stephanie Pearl McPhee was at Legacy Books in Plano, so I went to see her. (I read her blog every day, like everybody else does.)
It was amazing sitting there with about two hundred other knitters, all of us with projects on our laps. I am starting another pair of socks:
I had so much fun chatting with the others around me about what they were working on, what they wanted to work on, the best local yarn store, etc. I've really missed my knitting community since I moved.
And here she is (you'll have to click to make it bigger--she's way at the back, teeny tiny):
She is wonderful in person. Funny, laid back, Canadian accent. Just what I imagined. The funniest part was when she opened for questions, because they were all really personal. People asked about her dishwasher, her new car, her husband. How strange to have people so far away from you know such intimate things about you.
Now I'm reading her books (autographed, of course!). Very funny. Very good.
