Knotty Knitter Gathering And Celebrity Siting;)

My Group Gathered today at Starbucks and I had a drawing for 2 patterns and some 100% Baby Misti Alpaca Yarn that I bought at my local yarn shop The Yarn Palette to Celebrate The 1 year Anniversary Of The Group.We had 3 new members come today one of them Robin won the drawing.Mindy and Jamie our only married couple in the group spotted Denise Crosby who is perhaps best known for her portrayal of Security Chief Tasha Yar on the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Her grandfather was actor/singer/comedian Bing Crosby and her ex-father-in-law was the noted director Blake Edwards.She Autographed my Ravelry tote and took a picture with me she is really sweet and even prettier in person then on tv:)

Having a Hissyknit: Love Knit, Love Knit, Love Knit Contest
I recently found a contest asking what is my favorite yarn and where did I get it and what do I like to knit it into? well one is Misti Alpaca Chunky 100% Baby Alpaca it is so squishy soft you cant stop petting it.lol I bought it at my local LYS
The Yarn Palette There is a great quick pattern for this yarn called Ribs and Ruffles Scarf it is free at Misti Alpaca
It is a 2 hour knit on my lovely size 13 Lantern Moon Needles.I recently bought my first skein of ALCHEMY 100% Bamboo to make the Dream Swatch head scarf it is so soft and shiny when Iam knitting on it as it is 50% done people ask about it one little boy came up to me quietly at my local beauty shop and grabbed it into his hand and brushed his fingers over it and then quietly walked away;)Some yarns are just awe inspiring.I bought it on line from Loop so I guess you could say Iam into shiny squishy super soft yarns right now that I can knit into neck or head scarfs.I want to win this contest because I love yarn and because Febuary 14th is our 4th wedding anniversary and we both love to knit so what better way to spend it;)
