Too tired for a decent entry so I'll just post photos. We had a marvelous time meeting the delightful Ms. Pearl-McPheeand listening to her wonderful stories. Then some of us snb gals took her out for a beer at the Chama River Brewing Company. She seemed very happy to get the basket of New Mexico goodies Cody and I had picked out for her (we wanted to be sure she didn't get out of here without some chile goodness) and was more than understanding about getting photos with Barry. Or more importantly, having Barry and The Sock pose together.
We even got a little cleavage action. They don't call her The Yarn Harlot for nothin'. ;)
These are what I worked on during her talk.
That's the crazy heels and toes 2 on 2 pattern knit with my Green Tea Frappuccino silk merino handspun. Wahoo! I'm to the heel turn bit now.
Gratuitous close up shot
I'd say a good time was had by all. It was so nice to have a night out with the gals and really fun to meet this knitblogging, knitwriting, knitting icon and get to casually chat with her over a pint of beer. (And my diet coke). A very good night.

That was a really fun event! I don't know many knitters in real life, so it was nice to meet some locals.

You got pictures of Barry and The Harlot and didn't get their smiling faces together?!? Oh well, at least you got Barry and The Sock.

That is TOO cool! I'm glad y'all had such a great time - and it sounded like the Yarn Harlot did, too! :)

Barry is so great. I love Barry and I covet him a little bit too. Also, your socks are very nice.
