Goodby Portland, hello Albuquerque!

Two great events in Maine--at The Yarn Seller (thank you, Carrie!) and with Kelly of KellyBooksToGo in Portland, where Knitting Pearls contributors Lily King, Bill Roorbach, Clara Parkes, and Melissa Coleman gave tear jerking, rollicking, wonderful readers of their essays. 

Meanwhile, I have fallen in love with the ridge stitch, especially knitting it with this yummy yarn I bought in Ireland last summer. 

Now I'm in Kansas City, about to board my flight to Albuquerque where I'm talking all things Knitting Pearls at Bookworks at 7 tonight. And then I get to play in Santa Fe with my pal Mary before flying home on Sunday. If you are in New Mexico, bring your knitting needles to Bookworks!
