Good knitting day…

March 22nd, 2005

...even though there’s been, as yet, no knitting.

Got a notice from Purl Gurl that Debbie Stoller was going to be at Oakland’s Article Pract for a little book signing. We had emailed briefly about a possible carpool to SF to see her, but my schedule has been dicey, so that was not likely to happen. The Oakland thing was perfect, though… thanks, Purl Gurl! My stepdaughters both got interested in knitting around Christmas, so I let each of them take a Stitch & Bitch book. I’ve been itching to get another copy—there are projects in these books that I want to add to the list soon. Now I’ve got my very own signed copies:

I was too shy to say much, but she seemed really nice.

When I got home, I was greeted by a great package from the Bronx:

Sockapalooza pal socks

They’re beautiful, purple-y and comfy. Thanks so much, Nancy! I really appreciate all of your hard work.

I just realized that I never posted a photo of the finished socks I made, currently on their way to Austin:
