We are sitting here quietly in anticipation of Saturday, wallets ready. 😉
Last weekend was a total blur. Sally arrived on Friday afternoon and we were immediately catapulted into the maelstrom that is Yarnover preparation. We then attended the Friday night teachers’ dinner — great fun.
Up and out early on Saturday to get to the venue early to set up. The 40 vendors were there rushing to set up…most made it on time! The day went really well. It felt more organized this year — we are learning.
We also dined with the teachers on Saturday night — sitting with Nancy Bush, Beth Brown Reinsel and Romi Hill. Yes, we are shameless namedroppers. Sally wore her Crown Prince Shawl from Nancy Bush’s book on Estonian knitting and Susan wore her Fiori di Sole designed by Romi Hill. Yes, we are shameless suck ups!!
We didn’t buy much ::cough, cough:: (Susan was throwing money at vendors as they were unpacking!!). Yarn purchases will be revealed. Let’s be honest: it was a feeding frenzy worthy of “Jaws!”
The last couple of days in DC have been spent relaxing and knitting and eating. Today we have been getting organized for tomorrow at MD Sheep and Wool. Plotting our strategy and options. Just like marathon runners, we must leave nothing to chance! 😉
Sorry about no pictures, but at least you know we are still alive!
