I’ve been blogged!
“This is Veronica. You're not going to like her.”
Sounds like an ominous beginning to the chunk of blog post about me. But it wasn’t.. Let me explain..
Yesterday I went to the Lettuce Knit grand re-opening. I got to meet the very lovely and utterly hysterically funny Stephanie Mcphee. (Author of “The Secret Life of a Knitter”, “At Knit's End : Meditations for Women Who Knit Too Much” and “Knitting Rules! : The Yarn Harlot's Bag of Knitting Tricks”) She was impressed with sweater for Nina and kept declaring “The Force is strong in this one!” She took a photo of me and the rest is history. I was sitting in the shop listening to Stephanie talking to shop owner Megan about child rearing. Stephanie wove this tale of child and cheerio’s horror with such skill and humor that she had a crowd of women listening raptly and ultimately laughing so hard we all that that we would bust a gut.
I hope she comes to Sn’b at Lettuce knit on occasion. It will be a riot.
While at the party I met a woman who works with wood, we started talking about doing your own business, - that led to me talking about my friend Timothy and his harp making business. Turns out the lady I was talking to also played the harp. We chatted some more about what had inspired me to take up the harp and before long she told me,
“You know your making me want to pick up the harp again.”
I grinned.
As I was picking up my stuff to go I ran into another lady who had spent time in my home town of Montevideo, visiting, (among other things) the warehouse of a major wool company. She gave me a scoop on how to get good prices on airfair.
I hope She come to Sn’b too.
It was a fun night.
