Yarn, Yarn, Yarn!
Posted on March 15, 2005 by Christine | 11 Comments
While at a technology related conference like SXSW, it is really exciting to find another knitter. While waiting for the Accessibility shoot-out to begin, I turned around and spotted a lady wearing a Clapotis scarf, and I almost screamed. I immediately pointed out to Matt, “See! Another knitter! We are everywhere!” because I had pointed out earlier that there are a lot of knitters online. A whole target market that people are really missing. So it was a thrill to meet Julie of Yarnmaven, and to admire her absolutely gorgeous scarf. I’m definitely going to have to get some of that yarn – it is beautiful!

ohhh yes, you’ll be drawn to the ‘Clap-Monster’ too! I’ve been eyeing interlacementsyarn.com for a summer-weight clapotis. Yay Christine! I love it when you’re all knitty.

the mighty jimbo’s comment made me giggle. I am already eyeing yarn for the clapotis. I think I know how to handle all the stitches and everything. I’ll start in April. I’m kinda giddy thinking about it
