Oh! I'm so excited I don't know what to
do with myself! I knew this event would be happening in Edmonton in October, but today it was finally announced: "Stix in the City" at
River City Yarns -- featuring
Fiona Ellis and ---- Oh! Breathe! --
the Yarn Harlot herself, Stephanie Pearl-McPhee. I have all of her books. I follow her blog. If she had a podcast I would hang on every word. This gal is a) Canadian; b) a prolific and talented knitter; c) a spinner; d) a mom; e) a knitting humourist
extraordinaire -- with a big heart (her major charity is
Medicins Sans Frontiers, but there are others).

The event runs October 24-26 and includes several options. I'm opting for the Friday evening "Comedy Club" event with Stephanie, as I have to be home on Sunday to sing at church. That said, there is a Friday afternoon kick-off at the store -- a "Meet and Greet" where I'll be able to have a book (or two) signed and get to talk to these remarkable fibre artists of the knitting genre. The evening event is at a nearby hotel, and includes cocktails, a reception and a talk by Stephanie, including time for Q&A. At the end of the evening (8:30 or so) I'll have the option of driving home or driving to my daughter's for the night...I suspect the latter!
And yes...I'll be taking a sock-on-the-needles with me. :-) I can hardly wait!

Yay, Margaret. What a fun fall event to look forward to.
Sounds like fun. I'm just dipping my toes...or I guess hands...into knitting. I'll have to check out Stephanie's blog.
