[argh, I've had all sorts of difficulties getting the pictures to stay in order etc. so I hope this works. It was going better earlier. what gives??]Ah, Madison! What a place. Even though we had more of this stuff at about 3 o'clock on Monday . . .
I'm so glad our mid-sized city got on the tour for Stephanie Pearl-McPhee's latest book! Jaala did a great job reporting on her blog, so I'll just add to that. The lines that stuck with me were the one about carrying emergency knitting :D and of course, " our plan to take over the world continues apace." And the funny bit about the sheep & wool festival.
We're guessing that there were over 200 people in attendance, and it was great great fun. Especially for knitters like me who don't get out much ;) I didn't get home until 10:45! Oh, and the book is fun to read, too! I was so tired I felt hung over the next morning but I'd do it again in a minute!!
April has been really back & forth with weather, so we get outside whenever we can. Today, lots of gardening. A post soon on my finished vest and my next things. Cindy

Two hundred looks like a good guess from the pictures. That is quite a bit more than when she was here in 2006. Of course Fiber Factory is a lot smaller than any Borders. I'd say we had about 100 here. And now they probably couldn't even have that many in the new store unless they moved out all the looms and yarn display racks. Still, she is a captivating speaker, despite all her phobias. Glad you had a good time.
