Since I can’t be in Portland depleting my bank account, I thought I would do a little damage here instead. In the moment it felt really good. That wonderful guilt-free, “it’s ok to buy sock yarn because it doesn’t really count” feeling. Then I got home and saw pictures (thanks Michele) of summit events from today including a shot of hundreds of knitters heading into the Marketplace. Imagine an breath-takingly enormous room full of shopping possibilities.

Next year! I hope they do this again next year. It’s been so much fun. I worked in the Knitted Wit booth and got to meet lots of people I “know” online. And there’s so much yarn and fiber here.
And I know you’re enjoying this time with Kira. Sweet!
