i thought it would be fun to show you all my weekend away at vancouver for knitcity from the view of my ipad. they weren't all instagrammed due to lack of wifi wherever i was but they were all meant to be :) i got home very late last night and am still in a hangover of sore feet, amazing fun and just happiness at how well it all went and how many wonderful and lovely people we got to meet who embraced ISLAND as much as we do. i'll be back soon with more pics and info on the book.....xoxoxox
how was your weekend? what did you all get up to? any knitting or sewing? were you at knitcity? let's chat!
Looks like a fun weekend- even with all that rain!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to find out how to order " Island"
Can you let us know- thanks-
Khfuller- rav id
Will do :) Thanks so much!
DeleteI am crying on the inside right now that I wasn't able to make it! :( That's twice you gals have been soooo close to me for Fiber events and I've missed it. (Yes, I am having a bit of a pity party right now ;P) Looks like you had such a great time, though(despite the rain, wasn't it awful?!), and I will have to catch you next time!
ReplyDeleteBTW, LOVE your "Jane" hat in mustard! I am loving that color now and I think it's all b/c of you, Jane and Rebecca - who were digging that color long before it was trendy, might I add ;)
I'm sad we didn't get to see you too....:( Next time m'dear, next time! And I'm gonna give you the biggest hug!!
DeleteIt was great getting to meet you and Jane! It was a fan moment for me!
ReplyDeleteYou too Julie! So great to meet you in person! :)
DeleteAw, looks like a fun weekend! congrats to you both! that's pretty much what our weather looked like too - but it actually felt good after such a hot and dry summer! it's suddenly FALL around here!
ReplyDeleteI love fall but this was a freakin' monsoon..muaha. Winds and tons of buckets of rain...like hard rain and big drops. Not good for those of us with thin curly hair who like it straight sometimes...lol
DeleteWell, the best part of my weekend was getting to go to Knit City and buy some awesome yarn and.... meet you and say a brief hello to Jane! My signed copy of Island is going to be a treasured possession and I can't wait to knit me a Strathcona scarf. Thank you for being so kind and chatty at your booth.
ReplyDeletep.s. You said you thought my name was familiar from Ravelry, and I said I wasn't on there much, but I remembered later that I was on there a few weeks ago to buy your Mallory cowl pattern so that makes me a bit of a liar.
You are so welcome Chantel. Thank you for coming by and being such a sweetheart. Can't wait to see your Strathcona all knit up!
DeleteHave you finished your Mallory yet?
I did! I knit it up using some chunky dark grape merino from SeeJayneKnitYarns on Etsy and it was a pleasure to knit and the pattern was easy to understand. It's going to be a Christmas present for my sister-in-law.
DeleteOhhhh...gorgeous!!!! Is the pic on Rav?
DeleteLooks like a great time!
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome and wet! I love Rebecca's Georgia on her...so pretty!
ReplyDeleteIt was great to meet you, and also to score a swag bag (yes!) and fill it with madelinetosh to make up the Island patterns. I've barely slept since saturday, thinking of all the knitting I want to do! I've got the yarn ready for Renfrew, Rathtrevor and Strathcona! On my next visit to our place in Parksville, I'm going to sit on Rathtrevor Beach and stay warm in my Rathtrevor mitts! Woohoo!
ReplyDeleteYay for sold out booook! Nice!
ReplyDeletethis looks so much fun! congratulations on the book, how i wish i could have attended, i would have had to buy a copy too!
ReplyDeleteSooo lovely to see you! YAY knit city!
ReplyDeleteBeautimous!!! Looks like you had a good time, even despite the rain...Yay!
ReplyDeleteyou guys were the highlight of knit city for us! looking forward to island's availability - and to staying in touch!
ReplyDeletemargo and sherwin!
So great to meet you and Jane at Knit City! You guys are the best!! I managed to grab one of the last copies of Island, whew! Love, love, love!!!
ReplyDeleteAwwww! Hey its Britt! The girl who was wearing your lovely Downton Cowl pattern! I am so happy to have met you, and I feel overjoyed to be part of the bigger knitting community! Hopefully we can meet again soon!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like so much fun :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad the books were a hit - can't wait to get my mitts on one! I hope you'll be getting them over the the UK too? I want a real copy not a digital one!
Just belatedly popping by to say it was great to see you last Sunday! Glad I could be your coffee angel! Cute pic of the two of us!
