It’s Comic-Con weekend. My friend, the lovely and talented Sarah Kuhn, presented on a panel on Thursday, and I’m still kicking myself for not finding a way to get to San Diego and back without anyone in the office noticing I was gone.
It’s also CONVERGENCE 2010 here in the 505, meaning that handweavers, um, converged on Downtown to weave and spin and knot together over a mutual love of fiber. It’s like Comic-Con, only with less cosplay, but just as much sheep love. (Hey-o!)
Mary-Heather, she of Ravelry, is a local and was kind enough to set up a Ravelry meet-up, and I now have a coveted Ravelry name button, which I suppose I could scrub and sell on Ebay for tens of pennies, but I won’t, because some day, far in the future, I will go to a Rhinebeck or a TNNA or a Stitches event, and I will want that button.
My haul wasn’t spectacular — I got a skein of 100% angora, and some repurposed knitting needle jewelry, but I had a lovely time and handed out links and email addresses left and right. So hello to all of you!
