I skipped out today with a couple friends to visit the Madrona Fiber Arts Show. We browsed the market place. Last year I spent WAY too much money and haven't even knit from any of it yet. So it was pretty easy to not be seduced by all the lovely yarn. I did walk away today with yarn to make the Forest Canopy Shawl. I am excited to cast on my first lace shawl. The colorway is so perfect for spring...
And last but DEFINITELY not least was my brush with a famous knitter today at Madrona. I should say THE knitter as far as I am concerned. I got to meet Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, aka The Yarn Harlot. She was super nice and I have wanted to meet her since I started reading her books and her blog. She is currently knitting a February Ladies Sweater too and I got to see it in person.
Tonight we are going to dinner and (of course) I will wear my new sweater. I think I'll wear it to church tomorrow. And then I am going to wear it the next day and the next day and...

I had to come home and cast on for the sweater, too. Nice that you finished it so I can come to you for advice when I mess up.
(yesterday I bought some square DPNs! Had to cast on some socks, too, so I could try them out. Pretty cool.)
The sweater fits perfectly, that is one of the great joys of knitting for yourself. You get to make sure that it fits in all the right places. Great job!
