...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.

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:
