Yesterday ...

... Amy hosted a lovely afternoon of knitting and conversation and laughter. I only captured one side of the room but I think someone else got the other side.
Renee, (the one with the REALLY good movie reviews!!), Connie and Christy,
Deepa and Anne. This is where you get to respond back with your blog because I didn't quite catch it! Oh, and Deepa - you left wearing someone else's boots. Call Amy to arrange a boot meet up and exchange.
Leaving off at Christy, we have another Deb and intentionally blogless Marge. She is a knitter and my new best friend-goddess-spinner. This in know way makes her any more of a goddess or more of a new best friend than my other new best friend and goddess, Shelley, who became my spinning Coach (better title than teacher) on Saturday. But that's a story for another day. Or if you are Chris and Jeanne, it's probably a story for another blog I'm guessing.
This the back of a Mystery Persons head. Isn't her hair beautiful. It smells really lovely too. All the time. That's her lovely shawl under her beautiful hair. Through some transfer process, her shawl smells really good too. Behind her is headless Amy.

But the best moment for me (and after all, it is my blog, therefore, all about me) was getting to meet another BBFIAKIHBNMIP (Best Blog Friend I Always Knew I Had But Never Met In Person). This was as good as when I met Vicki in person, only then I had to go to Eau Claire and Vicki had to go to Eau Claire. This time Kathy had to drive really far (from WISCONSIN) and I only had to go 5 miles. This is one lovely lady. Everything I expected her to be. I think we're twins! Plus she's best friends with Brad Pitt. I think she liked me.

Thank you, Amy! It was a really wonderful afternoon.

I didn't know she drove some Eau Claire - awesome. You pretty much covered my chair angle of the room. I had a great time. Nice of you to bring the lovely prizes too.

Chris said...

Glad you had fun! Next time, I guess...

Jill said...

Looks like everyone was having a wonderful - makes me jealous!

Jeanne said...

I do wish I could have been there. Looks like it was fun.

You are my BBFIAKIHBNMIP, too, lady! It was totally awesome to [finally] meet you, too. (Do I sound enough like a teenager? Totally.) Thanks for the beautiful yarn; I shall be gathering my courage over the next couple months to attempt lace again, this time with your hand-dyed wonder.

It sounds like you had so much fun!

OK, now I'm jealous. Did you know that Kathy was in Eau Claire that day, too? She was in the restaurant and was only a few seats away from me in the front row at the hall, too. And yet... I have never met her. Poo. Bur, of course, I can't stay mad for long... What a wonderful time you all had!!

As always, it was delightful to see you again. The afternoon passed much too quickly!

Hey Deb- Great to meet you! It was absolutely lovely to talk to another newbie spinner as well. I'm looking forward to next Sunday at the Fiber Studio! :)

The door prizes were certainly unexpected. Thanks again for your generosity.

Oh-- I wondered-- would you be eligible for the newer Shingles vaccine? A few weeks ago I read that only 2% of US adults have had it--

Still kicking the ground that I couldn't go...although I had good reason. Sounds like you had a wonderful afternoon!

Hi Deb, it was nice to meet you at Amy's!
