And there were Knitters April 10, 2008
Knitters from different regions of the South East descended upon the Northlake Mall Borders Tuesday April 8, 2008. Why? Why would we do such a thing?
Two words…..
It was such an incredible evening and it was so awesome to get to meet so many great people! The usual suspects from the Charlotte knitting groups were in attendance.
Cristi and I showed up a bit early to case the joint. We had to get our wristbands and had to make sure we would be early to see Stephanie. Yes, we are dorks and we know. It’s ok. Cristi patiently sat for a while getting her steak ready to cut. Yes, I said steak and yes I said cut. She was going to ask Stephanie to do it for her. And if you want to know the dramatic conclusion to that story… you must visit her post!!!!! I know that is kinda mean, but hey, it’s her story to tell!
We were having a great time as everyone was showing up! You would have thought we were at BaM the way we moved the chairs around and did whatever we wanted to.
The lovely lady sitting on the left of the picture is Niki (aka KnitNik on Ravelry). She came down from Winston-Salem wih Kim (aka Buggajam on Ravelry). Kim works at Knit Picky Yarns in Winston-Salem. It is my FAVORITE LYS to visit when I go see my parents in Lexington.
Kim is sitting there behind Cristi.
Erin (blogless I think, but is Perexiguus on Ravelry) joined us as well! She gets her own little photo shoot because she was sitting on my left hand side and unless I could fly over the rail behind me (which I can’t and refuse to try) I just couldn’t get everyone in the group shots!
May, Dani, and Aimee finally joined us in anticipation! Aimee’s bag is there in the shot… do ya see it? It’s obnoxiously pink… it’s ok honey I still love you even if you are pink!
HAHA!!! I caught you!!!
She is so cute y’all. She smile through anything. Her shoulder was killing her and she did have to go home early, but she was there and she experienced the Yarn Harlot! YAY DANI!
I’m going to mimick myself and what happened when I was suprised and saw her walk off the elevator on our way back upstairs. I’m going to shut up and let you all be star struck too:
I am a happy girl!
Love&Stitches,
C.M.S.S.
What a fun nite!!
Rah!
Had to smile - you and Aimee were spoiling me with good care
And seeing people in person Ive been talking to online forever, and yea, then there’s (mostly) getting to hear the Harlot…
Well worth fighting thru the pain indeed
Great pics! Fabulous recap of events. I had a great day with you. =)
I tried to stay out of pictures on purpose. My bag is much more photoworthy.
I would have loved to have been there with y’all. All of my favorite people were in one room, so it would have been great!
Thanks for the great recap.. it makes me feel as if I had been there!
