she called me bono

so, see, Tracey Ullman and Mel Clark were at the Textile Museum tonight to sign their new book. as many before have done, they spoke for a while about knitting and their book. and i propped my tiny canon on my knee and took y'all a video so you could enjoy it too. when this clip starts, she's just been talking about how knitting and yarn was for her when she was much younger...and then she continues:



what you don't see is when i stuck my nose in it. they were talking about sweater wizard software, with significant audience participation, and somehow i managed to mention that i do knitty [cough, cough] and that's when it happened. tracey ullman called me the Bono of knitting. it doesn't need to be true. it just means that Tracey Ullman reads Knitty.

i leaned my head back and said in response, "i can die now."

p.s. i can take no credit for the pink radiator, except that i didn't paint over it when we bought the house. it does seem rather fitting now, doesn't it?
