1. My friend Jen won a contest. Yay! Check out the 12 Knits of Christmas!
2. The Yarn Harlot was mentioned today in the New York Times as the coiner of the word Kinnear (v).

Over at theanticraft.com, they have posted a video of Stephanie Pearl-McPhee knitting. Anyone who has seen her knit knows she is very fast; this video shows how she does it.
Thanks for the link, Topaz at Ravelry!
(I am going to try this method to see if I can beat the yardage of my secret project to the finish.)
PS–> Yarn Harlot books are great to read, but they make crap mouse pads.
I just got back from the trip to Madison and (except for a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad thing that happened right after the Harlot finished her talk–we shall not speak of it here) I had a thoroughly enjoyable time. Stephanie is as funny and engaging in person as she is in her books, and I’m so glad I got to meet her.
Here she is, holding my SIP, rubbing it up against the traveling sock. Awesome.
Oh my gosh, people. I have so much I want to blog about. I want to tell you how the sidewalk sale at the yarn shop went. I would love to show you the purchases I made and the huge undertaking I am planning. Wouldn’t it be fun to see the sumptuous yarns they were selling for 50% off, laying there on the tables, literally glowing in the sun? I have still the photos on my digital camera.
Let’s not forget the comments. People have been leaving comments and I haven’t been able to respond. Blogger doesn’t make it easy to just reply, as you may already know, so I was planning to do one of those “let’s answer the comments” posts.
Then there’s some haikus to share and some interview questions to answer and at least a dozen other things to post about, but you know what? All I can think about is that today, I am going to see the Harlot in Madison.
SQUEE!!
…too busy getting ready to schlep up to Madison with my children to see the Yarn Harlot tomorrow.
