No Supervision

VK Live is in Seattle/Bellevue this weekend. In fact it's beginning right now!
I will be attending Sunday.
I will most like be attending alone, unless of course my friend L (non-knitter but receiver and connoisseur of knit things) ends up being free and coming with me...
Should I attend alone a number of things could occur.

1. I'll be nervous and arrive at the convention center 4 hours before the doors open.

2. I won't know which of my knit hats/scarves/shawls/sweaters/mittens/socks I should wear and will end up walking out of the house covered head to toe in everything I've ever knit. Most likely with a huge smile on my face.

3. I'll get to the marketplace and be so overwhelmed I'll spend my whole time in the time out lounge...

4. I'll meet a designer or blogger or other knitter I admire/stalk online and embarrass myself with open gushing and over sharing about how I've felt we are kindred spirits and are best friends and will you spend the rest of your day with me! (If anyone reads of security being called in post show notes from VK Live its highly probable they were called because of me)

5. I'll max out the credit card and have to leave town instead of go home and face the husband.

#2 is the most likely. I'm sure L will take pictures if that happens. Pretty sure #4 is likely as well...

I should go give everything a fresh blocking now so the fresh smell of wool-ite will cover the smell of stress sweat...

Happy Friday!

p.s. still blue about no hockey... Tonight is usually bowling/hockey night. Now it's just bowling night... As D said to me earlier
bowling-hockey night > bowling night.

I will! I'll try not to freak out and not take any pictures or take pictures of a completely random non-knitterly nature! Have a good weekend!

SSYC... My First Official Yarn Crawl...

It's true... I've never actually participated in a yarn crawl or LYS tour. When I worked at So Much Yarn I had the pleasure of working the weekend of the LYS Tour but I've never done it. Well, the SSYC, South Sound Yarn Crawl covers 9 shops that aren't included for whatever reason in the Seattle LYS Tour that covers around 25 shops in the area. Maybe they're too far off the beaten path. It's not because they aren't in Seattle because there are shops way way way out of town that are included in the Seattle LYS tour. Whatever the reason, it's not important. What is important is that Mary and I both took Friday off and hit the road. I caught the 7:15 Ferry to Kingston, Arrived at Mary's about 8:00. Mary and I have the same china. Mine came from my Grandmother, her's came from her mom. Tried making friends with her fluffy dog Mae. Someday she'll come to love me, for now I'll respect her tenative personality and love her fro...

Remembering...

I don't know what karmic cosmic angels were flitting around today but they led me to the coffee aisle at the grocery store. More specifically it led me to the international moments. Which led me to thoughts of my grandmother. I loved her. I knew deep in my bones that she loved me. Grandma loved her International Moments coffees. Just smelling them. Holding the tin (though it's different now) Brings back memories of being with my grandma. She said these were her special treat and she'd make one for me to. Grandma made the best fresh blackberry pie. I know they were fresh because when she came to visit us in Bellevue she'd make us help her pick blackberries. She was the master of Christmas cookies, chocolate chip cookies and raspberry freezer jam. I make freezer jam from time to time and it reminds me of summer visits to Boise. Helping grandma in her garden, making sun tea, and smelling her roses. Sometimes, I buy a tin of Interna...
