The Ladies Who Lunch
Saturday noon found 8 knitbloggers at Jerry's Deli in Studio City: Lauren, Laura and Jen, Stacey, Lori, Allison, me, and Kris. Our waitress Bridgette had a line of cameras to go through, so you'll probably find a sharper picture on one of the other ladies' blogs.
Lauren, Laura, and Jen. The last time I saw them was at Fab Fiber Fest in August last year.
Stacey, Lori, Allison and Kris. Allison and Kris are wearing the same cabled hoodie.
There was much talk and way too much food. Later on we went to La Knitterie Parisienne, which was crammed with yarn (Fiesta Yarns' droolworthy Water Mark) and not a price tag in sight. Hmm. Suffice it to say that Lori and I dropped by Wildfiber on the way home to satisfy our yarn cravings.
Here's an extra picture of Lauren and Lori, the difference between them being 14.5 inches, or the total length of knitting I've made on my grandma's Kidsilk Haze Stole. They're now on a nice pair of Bryspuns, which I'm told holds the fluffuzz quite well.
Reading: The Final Solution by Michael Chabon. Surprisingly, BF picked this out for me. It's not on my reading list but he's listened to me rave on about Kavalier and Clay and figured this would be good as well. I have to recommend my last read, The Shadow of the Wind (check my list), because it is very, very good. I'll be nominating this for Knit One Read Too's May book.
Whew! Not pickle pic in sight! Ok, MJ....how much do ya want for it????
what fun! very cool.
LOVE when bloggers meet! Looks like a great time. Can't wait for May! ;-)
Oh, Shadow of the Wind was so good! I am glad you liked it as much as I did :)
The pics of the group are so great! Looks like you all had a ton of fun!
hi MJ-
It was great to meet you! and I thoroughly enjoyed out side trip to Wild Fiber!! That's a funny picture of Lauren and I!! Hopefully we'll get to meet up again soon (a bit south of LA)!
Knitting bloggers getting together is such fun! When we do that around here, I'm high on it for a week. Good vibes! Can't wait to see your clap-monster! ;)
I hope Wildfiber is back to a good 50% off room by the next time i visit. D & I & all 4 of our parents all read the Final Solution around Christmas. 3 copies were given as gifts b/c we'd all read Kavalier and Clay and loved it so much.
Only 1 picture with you in it? I think you probably had more fun than you would have climbing.
It was great to meet you! I thought of you as I struggled to do assisted pull ups yesterday - I'm totally impressed at how strong you are. :)
Looking forward to seeing your KidSilk blocked out. I'm on the prowl for future projects with it. That's a lovely color. You'll love that yarn on BrySpuns.
Very amused by boyfriend in hat photo below too!
Oh yes, and welcome to the Clapotis Club! Though it's all over blogland, it's unique out there on the street. None of the non-net women at either of my LYSs had ever heard of it. You'll probably never see another one ... unless you lunch with knitbloggers!
