I made it into the Yarn Harlot's Blog !

Went to WEBS in Northhampton, MA on Sunday...
my first ever visit to WEBS...
my second visit to see the Harlot....
just finished another knitted doll,
which I made into a Stephanie Pearl-McPhee doll....
All of my photos, a rush job, were done on a
stormy overcast day, so came out dark and mostly unuseable...
But I did manage to get one good photo of Stephanie holding the doll
at WEBS itself, and then Stephanie posted a good pic on her blog today
of the mini books and pencil I gave for her to sign them....

(see photo below from her blog) and also the direct link to her blog & article
she wrote about WEBS and her visit there.

The knitted doll has on a sweater cut and sewn from
an old patterned sock. She is holding up a mini sock
partially knitted in one hand, and originally had
a tiny camera in her other hand
which somehow got lost in the Calvin Theatre....it was rather
dark in there...and a little tricky to knit with the lights so
low...
But what a day....WEBS itself is amazing and so overwhelming...
I just wandered around the store for 2 hours in some Zen like state...
lost in row after row of lovely soft, beautifully colored yarn...
will photo some of my yummy alpaca lace weight
hand dyed lovelies for a future blog post...
but as it's raining here in New England, cannot photo anything
decent right now.

and a few quick shots of WEBS itself and Stephanie at the Calvin...
Roving


Yarn and even more yarn




and the famous back room...can you spell discount...
but this stuff is too nice, certainly not acrylic



and finally the Calvin itself...kind of dark as the photos
also came out dark, despite the flash...
it was packed, even up in the balcony...



and even though this was my second Harlot adventure, it seemed
all new, and she is so unbelievably funny...
If she ever comes to a town even close to your area...don't miss it!
and bring Kleenex...
