Heads up on NYC knitting meetup for Yarn Harlot.

http://www.yarnharlot.ca/blog/archives/2007/02/16/represent.html

Stephanie wants to show the world how many knitters are really out there, so for her book launch, they're thinking big and trying to fill a huge space with as many knitters as possible. I won't be able to go, but all of our DU knitties should see if they can. :)

1. Stephanie = Stephanie Pearl-McPhee

for anyone not "in the know" -- and I only barely am, and only thanks to hanging out at www.knittersreview.com forums.

She's a hilarious knitting author and blogger. Maybe everyone knows all about her; and maybe not.

But no matter how great the plan and worthy the cause, I don't live near NYC and don't have a budget for helping promote knitting to the media.

Is this truly a "MeetUp" -- registered at MeetUp.com -- or are you just calling it that? (I skimmed the link and didn't see anything about MeetUp.com but could have missed it.)

2. It's not official--everything is at her blog.

It's a time to meet and knit with other knitters and listen to an amazingly funny knitter who is publishing another book. I highly recommend anything she's written. I wish I could go, and I'm planning on going to her talk in Ann Arbor.

3. I picked up one of her books yesterday at Michael's

OMG, I almost fell out of bed laughing & that was just the first chapter!!! I wish I could go to this, but hopefully, she'll have a stop in Texas somewhere.

4. She usually goes through Texas at least once every tour.

She did on her last book tour.

I saw her in person once, and she was sooooo funny. :)
