The yarn harlot
Anna-Liza and I made the 1.5hr trek to Highlands Ranch (south of Denver - the orange county of CO) to see the Yarn Harlot - Stephanie Pearl-McPhee. It was worth trip. It was the first time I'd been to a book signing and the first time I'd been in the company of sooo many knitter - over 230.
A very entertaining author who is down to earth, self effacing and giving - signed books until store closing (11pm) and posed for photos with everyone of us. I held the sock she was knitting and she held the baby blanket I'm working on. Got home around 1am after sitting in traffic on I-25 due to an accident. It was worth it.
