- The Yarn Harlot
Look at this! Yes, this really is Stephanie Pearl-McPhee better know as the Yarn Harlot signing my/her book while I photographed her with my Jaden sock in front of her. We, she and I (and a whole bunch of Dutch knitters), were in London for the I Knit Day 2008. It was really, really great. She f.i. created a real Dutch table with stroopwafels and salted liquorice. For the first time I saw large pictures of their Knitted Landscape and I liked it more than I thought. Some photos were really stunning. And of course, we went to the Yarn Harlot and we laughed a lot. It was great to see all those knitting people listeningand reacting. I really had a great view, by the way.
Coraline, Hey Teach, Arwen
It all inspired my greatly. I even bought a spindle (the darker side, as Lies said) because I found the most beautiful roven at Moonspinning from Rockpool Candy. It’s green (why not?) and made from merino, texel, silk, wensleydale, banana, milk and angelika. You see. Unfortunately I was too late for the softiest cashmere I ever felt (as if I feel cashmere every day).
Hey, Teach!
Work is too much in the way on the moment, but I knit 2008 inspired me a lot to spend all my free minutes to knitting. So I managed to not only start my Hey, Teach last Sunday, but also finish the back yesterday evening. Because of the repetitive movements knitting keeps me in theta. I need that.
Sounds like a nice trip, and the yarn was gourgous. Meeting Yarn Harlot must be exciting.
Een heel gezellig uitstapje!
Hi Yvonne,
wow, I confess I’m a bit envious! Wish I could have been there, too.
Hugs

hiya
sorry I didn’t see you properly – it was a bit of a hectic day for me but I’m so glad you came and thrilled you enjoyed yourself.
To be honest you are responsible for all of this. If you hadn’t found us in the market and arranged for the invite to Rotterdam…thank you.
best
Gxx
Geweldig dat ja daar geweest bent, en dat het zo inspirerend was.
Zo grappig al die gebreide ruggetjes te zien :-))
ziet er gezellie uit. Ik zag ook al een verslag bij Sas knits it again. Ben je haar met “wol op zolder” ook tegengekomen?
