No Sheep in the Midwest!

Okay. Since my last post, I've been working like an author on deadline [oy, I tell you!], neglecting my sister and her husband daily, but making it up at dinner, and changing time zones. I'm now in Chicago to celebrate Passover with the family. And I brought the No Sheep for You trunk show with me!

Wanna come see us? We'll be at Loopy Yarns this coming Wednesday froom 5:30 to 7:30. Most excellently, Loopy Yarns sent me this news:

To celebrate Amy’s arrival at Loopy Yarns, for two hours we’re having a sale of 20% off ALL animal free yarns and ALL silk. That’s EVERY cotton, bamboo, linen, soy, corn, and milk yarn, as well as all our 100% silk and wool-free silk blends.


As always, the sharpie will be at the ready, books and yarn will abound and we can talk non-wool yarns until they kick us out.

Hope to see you there!

Wednesday, April 4
5:30-7:30 pm

Such a deal! Too bad I'm in Philadelphia and not Chicago. Happy Passover! I'll be celebrating later, myself.

Maybe its the geek in me, but every time I see the tag "NSFY" (which I'm sure means "No Sheep For You") I always see "NSFW" which has a totally different meaning...

Considering I just got home from a 24hr trip to Ann Arbor to meet the great and wise Rams (using Steph as an excuse) I can't justify, or heck, stay awake for a trip to Chicago on Wednesday. Have a great time though.

Oh, and I listened to your Cast Off episode on my way home today. Dude! Cool! You were great.

You said at one point you were worried no one would show up. I called Hill Country Weavers in Austin and snagged a spot in the no sheep class. They said they'd been getting lots of calls, and the spots would go fast.

Now, how come I can't be in chicago now. I'm from there, but live in Raleigh, NC now. Wow. I'm missing out.

Amy, you were fantastic! Personable, down-to-earth and talented to boot! Thanks for a grand time at Loopy Yarns.

Darn! This is what I get for moving to the Chicago area and not checking my bloglines immediately every time there is a new post (darned messed up personal life). I so enjoyed meeting you at Circles in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, some moons ago when I was a new knitter and would have loved to see you again last night. I'm sure it was great, as is the book!
