Yarn and the Harlot

Yesterday afternoon I got to go and see Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, aka Yarn Harlot, speak at the Bluegrass Festival of Books. There were knitters who traveled from Ohio and West Virginia to see her speak so I felt quite fortunate to have her within a mile of my doorstep. The talk was fabulous and afterward we knitted with Stephanie in the coffee shop downstairs. It was really fun.

I also found out that Mayfest is not next weekend like I recorded in my planner months ago. It ends up that Mayfest is in two weeks so I have a whole extra week to prepare. I am so relieved since I was really pushing getting everything done and I was planning to forego sleep to meet the deadline. Now with a whole extra week I am calm and way ahead of schedule.

Now for something fun. I saw this yarn on the Pluckyfluff site and I am completely in love with it. I have blogged about how much I enjoy her work before, but this yarn is a whole new level of fabulousness. If anyone wants to buy it for me off of ebay for me, please feel free.
