We had one little box of Kristin Knits books and blew through them early in the day. The rest of the day I talked to knitters, husbands, and kids. It was so busy I didn't get a chance to talk to the other authors who were visiting which was sad. When you do these things, you're supposed to meet the people and I take it pretty seriously. Missed opportunities though to network with other writers! I also didn't have a minute to walk around and had to wait to see a live sheep until I got home late last night!
Saturday night I went to Morehouse Farm in Red Hook for their annual party. The store is so beautifully merchandised and it was packed with knitters. I'm glad I got to visit it because sadly I heard from Albrecht that they are closing the shop and going to concentrate on their on-line business.
It was so great to see lots of old friends and meet some new ones - especially Woolamena the Sheep. Seriously, Woolamena, aka Millie Bankert, is a dear friend of mine. She even knit a pair of socks for the new book. It was a bit disconcerting talking to a sheep and trying to catch up with our lives so we will have to have a phone conversation soon!

it was great meeting you yesterday. i'm glad i came early in the day and was able to snag one of your books. thanks for the sunflower.
It was great meeting you on Saturday night and the next morning. I am so happy I picked up your book early in the day. I can't wait to read the article in the next Interweave.
Kristin, I dropped by the booksigning tent early on, and you were busy talking and signing books, so I didn't want to bother you. (after all, I thought, she's making money over there!) Now I'm so sorry I didn't say hello. I was there to meet up with a representative for my publisher, but so would have enjoyed meeting you. Maybe "next time" our paths cross...! Be well!
