The Ohio Girl honored me with this award, and shared these words:
This Award was created by Bella and Ces in honour of their friend Renee, an incredible lady who in the face of a frightening life battle is tackling each day with great spirit and courage.
Here is what Bella says of this award:
“this is a brand new award and I have the pleasure and honor of spreading the seed, watching it grow.
I hope it finds it’s way to those who are like Renee: the acorn, becoming a tall and sturdy oak, giving acorns…”

San Francisco Treat:)

Dolores and I had such a great time with Alison, Jasmin, Gigi, and Rachel. Meeting and getting to know other knitters is so much fun and it made the trip all the more special. Alison was wearing her "Peace Of My Mind Shawl" from her book "Wrapped In Comfort". She was knitting her pattern, "Michelle's Shawl" out of Seasilk in a lovely blue/green colorway. Rachel was knitting the "Febuary Lady Sweater" in Noro Cash Iroha in a lovely gray/blue and I was knitting on Grace's "Easy Flame Lace Scarf" in Malabrigo color Geranio which is in route to her as we speak. Dolores was knitting a "Ballband Dishcloth" from "Mason Dixon" in "Summer Splash" sugar n cream. Jasmin was knitting on her sock. "Pattern
Houdini Socks by Cat Bordhi" in rainbowy. Gigi was knitting a sock in "Slip Stitch Cable Pattern" from Little Box of Socks

Bay Bridge.It took us 7.5 hours to get to Santa Rosa and our hotel.We put our stuff away and headed for the mall 4 blocks away for some panda express:)Then we went back to our room and finished knitting our cupcake dishcloths before going to sleep.The hotel I booked our room at was 5 minutes from Copperfield's Bookstore.We got up ate our continental breakfast and got ready for the book signing.Dolores and I arrived at the bookstore at 11am since the book signing wasn't till 3pm I collected the 2 books I had prepaid for and the tickets for The Yarn Harlot book signing then we just browsed.I ran into some other early comers who invited us to join them for lunch Alison,no-blog-Rachel, and the Knitmore Girls Jasmin and mom Gigi.I will post some more of the story tomorrow.
