The Yarn Harlot

Last Friday, I listened to the Yarn Harlot speak at a local bookstore. It had been a tough day at work, and I almost missed it, thinking that it would be easier to go straight home rather than fight rush hour traffic to get there. In the end, I went, and was glad that I did. Stephanie was very funny, as she took her traditional sock/audience picture, and spoke about stash, yarn, and misconceptions people had about knitters. Although some of her talk included material from her books and her blog, her personality brought the material to life, making it much funnier! We weren't as wild a bunch as in Boston, where some wild knitters threw panties! She also spoke about the generosity of knitters, and collected hats for a local shelter.
