A Knitters Field Trip

I've no idea how to start this post. I've started and deleted and restarted so many times my brain is a fuzz. I'm dying to be funny and clever like The Yarn Harlot but crap on a cracker, shit on a shingle I just don't know what to say.

My fabulous and wonderful husband* drove me 2 hours to Eau Claire on Sunday afternoon. We met up with a band of fabulous knitters** (and one quilter) at the Accoustic Cafe.








After a yummy sandwich, soup, cup of coffee, sip of beer, and bite of ice cream we headed over to Yellow Dog Knitting.











A very awesome wonderful, warm, friendly shop. LOVED IT!
Some yarn may have been purchased











(the photo does not do this yarn justice - Rowan Tapestry in the Rustic colorway)
Then it was off to the Masonic Lodge to see Stephanie - Thanks to all those wonderful knitters who saved seats for Mr. Motorcycle & I so I could take care of that Yarn thing











What do I say - Stephanie was funny & clever in ways that I could never be. Her knitting is flawless and she can knit & talk at the same time. I knit & talk at the same time only what I say isn't necessarily good conversation:
"knit, knit, four, shit, four, knit, purl, seven"

although she did have help at one point











Following the talk, we walked back to Yellow Dog, waited in line, got my book signed.











Had my picture taken with the sock











and drove home.

*the level of spoilage here has reached perportions that aren't necessitated. I knit all the way to Eau Claire & all the way home while Mr. M drove with the lights on - One lucky girl I am.

**Thanks for keeping us company ladies - we had a blast!
