An Awesome Chance

Remember last summer when I was fortunate enough to go see the Yarn Harlot talk?  I was reading her blog and found out she was headed to Denver along her book signing route.  I quick look at Jeremy's schedule and he was off that day.  Instead of having him go with me, he was assigned baby sitting detail and me and a fellow knitter planned to go see her.  It was on a Monday evening, so we spent the night.

This is a picture from her blog.  See, there I am right under the arrow in the second row!  On my left is Heidi, my fellow knitta!  We got to the bookstore several hours before the event, so we be able to be near the front.  We were 12th and 13th in line.  She told a story about dentists in the Dominican Republic that had me laughing so hard there were tears rolling down my cheeks.

While waiting in line, we were able to have a marathon knit session.  Without it, these socks wouldn't have been done nearly as quickly.

And guess what socks I'm wearing to work today!  Yep, these babies.
