Oh the sadness

Don't worry I won't give you my top 50 here.
I just like to feel that places like yarn stores and fiber festivals are free from outside interlopers.  But the trouble caused at the Maryland Sheep and Wool festival shows that we are part of society not an island disconnected.
My other (quite little) sadness is that I left my camera in a friend's hand on Sunday and we have yet to reconnect.  I have sad socks to show--boy did I screw these up!  And acquisitions I made yesterday at Twisted--a vest project, a gift project that involves some knitting and embroidery (you'll see that one on a different blog soon) and a great Japanese embroidery book--oh the ideas I'm getting from that!
I was at Twisted to get signed up for Fiona Ellis's talk on Friday night (I'm getting really excited for the weekend!).  I haven't been there for so long.  I couldn't believe the owner even remembered my name.  As I was browsing about I heard her greet someone else.  Michelle and I have been trying to find a time to meet up at Twisted since I got home (actually since before I left).  It was great to catch up, shop together a little and I got to pet those beautiful Yarntini socks she just finished.  I had to head back to work so I couldn't stay and knit, but it was so great to catch up Michelle!

I had not heard about MS&W until you posted the link. How sad indeed.

It saddens me to see that there are Thieves and people of ill will everywhere! One of my favorite LYS here in the city has been victimized on several occasions too. People appear to come into the shop and clip off sample garments. At one time she had an entire Fab Throw from Colinette stolen. The throw was clipped off the hinges. Unbelievable! On another occasion someone left grafitti on their bathroom walls!

Crazy, crazy stuff! Is knitting becoming that popular?
