Unfortunately, it didn't make it. Both Kate and I were sorry to have missed The Harlot but we could not leave this bat on it's own.

(I'm the one in pink in the first few pics.) Had no trouble cashing out as people were getting in line for the signing. <br/><br/>Stephanie was so gracious, even commented on my sweater! Wow! I'm honored!<br/><br/>I thought things ran very well, you seemed well organized and I know what a trick that can be. I work in a college bookstore and felt like I was in the middle of rush! lol <br/><br/>My daughter and I will definitely be back!! Thank you, Kathy and Steve for a wonderful time!

I didn't notice the chaos in the morning because we left after getting our books signed (to avoid lines) and did our shopping in the afternoon. Still lines, but not so bad. The only thing I missed was a donation box for the midwifery center. Where was it hiding? You did a phenomenal job.

She bought the yarn for her sweater when we were at Webs for the Super Bowl Sunday event (which I blogged about at http://www.livnletlrn.blogspot.com/search?q=super+bowl). She blocked it last Wed. with the goal of wearing it to CT Sheep and Wool on Saturday and then to Webs on Sunday. Mission accomplished and she loved how many knitters commented on her sweater! Thanks for putting on such a great party and for the extra boost of complimenting her on your blog. What a fun surprise when Leah (cottonhollow on Ravelry) saw herself on this post!

What's the worst they'll do? Throw yarn? Sit on the floor and stage a knit-in? Demand wine to go with the yarn? How bad could that be?

Thanks so much for organizing that event! I'd say the lines I waited in after the show at the Calvin all moved pretty smoothly. They flowed well enough for me to spend some time chatting with the other people in line, and there was even time for 30 or so people to come up to me and ask, "Aren't you that Scarf Guy?"<br/><br/>WEBS is a great store, and I'm sure I'll check you guys out when I do my next project... that is if I choose to do one. Although I said that once, and look, I'm onto another scarf!<br/><br/>I definitely look forward to appearing on the podcast! Should be a lot of fun!<br/><br/>Thanks again for hosting this amazing event!<br/><br/>Aaron<br/>-aka justonescarf I had such a great time yesterday! Thanks so much for organizing that event!
