if it's Thursday, this must be Portland

Wow. This is one hell of a whirlwind trip. Wooooot!

Bainbridge Island and Churchmouse were FREAKING AMAZING. I'll have pictures for you, including a yarn opportunity I couldn't pass up. I will also have tales of ICE CREAM.

I saw nearly nothing of Seattle, which just makes me more excited to come back in May next year for Sea Socks 2008 [link on the right sidebar].

And now I'm in Portland, with a super-full day ahead of me, including a face-to-face [long overdue!] lunch with someone whose work most of you know and covet. Pictures and stories to come.

The class is WAY overfull, but if you want to come out and say hi, my schedule [meet amy on the road] on the right sidebar tells you when the casual stuff is scheduled at Knit/Purl, and you should absolutely come out! I'm really funny when I'm punchy.

Okay, time to get ready!

I visited Churchmouse last week and it took willpower not to buy more than I did (I actually didn't buy a lot, but what I bought I am in lust with)! Love the shop and the whole area. (there is a lovely yarn shop in Anacortes, Washington too)

Sounds like you are having fun!

MMMM...you must have found MORA. Absolutey, hands down, the best ice cream shake I've ever had has been from there.

Oh my gosh, this is so like stalkery of me, but I just met you, like 30 minutes ago. I am still geeking out. I can hardly wait for the class. See you tonight.

Amy, Thanks! Loved the Tuscany shawl class!! Moving right along since yesterday and I've already got eleven markers!!! It's amazing, didn't think I could but already I'm zooming without using the chart!
Thanks for the incredible couple of days girl! You're a HOOT!!

As promised, I also wax poetic on my blog about Churchmouse and the Tuscany class. Nice to meet you in person, and hope you're having a great time in Portland too!
