Today, I met the Yarn Harlot
and gave her some beer
in beer cozies (aka stubby holders).
We met at the I Knit London Day.
It was a brilliant day. Stephanie Pearl-McPhee is lovely: funny, friendly, the sort of girl you'd love to be your best friend. A knitting rock star! There were hundreds of people queuing up to meet her
and she was lovely and gracious to each and every one.
Thank you for a great day, Stephanie. I'm tired* from shopping and queuing, you must be exhausted from talking and signing and being "on stage" for hours.

PS: And a big "Thank you" to DH, who not only braved a day full of yarn and knitters (as a complete muggle), but also carried everything for me, gave me yarn(!) and took the photos.
* My back is killing me again.

yay! I've been thinking of you as she's been posting on London. I remember you said you had reservations to go, way back when. I'm so glad you had a nice day! And hurrah for husbands who understand.
Great photo !
So glad to hear you had a great time. Stephanie does sound like a lovely person.
Cheers,

Looks like a great time for all. Wish I had been there and love the beer cozies
Brilliant, you gave her Coopers! I met her in Detroit earlier this year, and handed over TimTams, so she's definitely had the best food and drink from Oz.

Best beer in Oz, Amanda! The only beer I liked until long after I moved to London and discovered real ales.
I see you're a fellow member of the Tim-Tam conspiracy (trying to convince the world to love them/demand them, one Tim-Tam at at time!). Good work!

Congratulations, you! Lucky, lucky, lucky you. Hope you're taking care of your back and it's taking better care of you.
Eeee! Fun! Isn't she a blast?!
I'm sorry to hear your back is bothering you, though. Not cool.
