Dear Jan,

No time for deathless prose - two very full weekends in a row have left me so far behind at work that I really need to get back to it this evening.  I don’t want the Yarnover coverage to get too stale, so here is the flash run-down.

I had  classes with Annie Modesitt, Susanna Hansson,  Fiona Ellis, Julie Weisenberg, and Nicky Epstein. (Susanna with me, Fiona by herself,  pictured here.)

Best classes - Annie’s colorwork class (something like 6 techniques in 3 hours - packed with value and laughs) and Susanna’s Japanese Short Rows class (totally elegant, and I think she is right, just about perfect).  Pictured are samples from Susanna’s class, which, as always, is totally organized and thought out to bring maximum learning to the students.

Meet ups with the Ravelry team (Sarah and Mary Heather).  Look at that cute original logo (click to embiggen), upper left, literally scratched out on a cocktail napkin.  They gave a very interesting history of Ravelry and then showed us some cool features, and then posed with us in front of the giant Bob head.  They don’t come much sweeter than the Rav-team.

Steven was his glorious self.  I love that guy.  Just love him.  He asked about you, as did others.  I told them you were off protecting the free world. Thank you for that.

Next year I hope someone else can stand duty and you can join in the fun.

Love,

Ellen
