Madrona 2013 Part II

Is it just me, or does it seem like Lambchop had a rough night?

So, on Saturday night I attended the Banquet Dinner where we were treated to a talk and slide presentation by Clara Parkes. She talked about her life experiences in the fiber world, how she got to where she is today and her current adventure of making yarn.

I also managed to meet my two favorite podcasters. I chatted with Brenda Dayne on a couple of occasions during the weekend. I even got her some water because she was thirsty! I helped! I had the pleasure of meeting her last year in NYC at Lion Brand Yarn Studio. I also met Sasha Torres, the host of Spindoctor. Both these talented women have lovely voices. I’d be happy to listen to them discoursing on any subject.

In the rotunda I spotted this fearless knitter. Brian Kohler is on a mission to knit twelve pairs of socks at the same time. His blog is The Red Toe Diaries where he is chronicling his progress. He has himself well-organized and set up with this wall of yarn.

And now I will share photos of stuff that makes folks like us just drool.
