have pillow, will travel...

You know how one of the best things about doing a road trip is being able to take your favourite pillow with you. In the past, even though I do it, I’ve always been somewhat embarrassed to be seen carrying that pillow into a hotel. I just returned from the Spring Fling in Peru, Indiana, put on by Charlene Shafer and the Knit Knack Shop. The drive home was through pretty wicked snow/blizzard conditions, but I made it safely. We had a fun time at the seminar and Charlene gave me the perfect gift – a beautiful Vera Bradley bag just the right size for my pillow – I’ll never feel awkward again!
Everyone loved Ozark and Pocket Change, my two newest projects. Charlene and her family put on a major event – there was something for everyone and it was so much fun renewing knitting acquaintances and meeting new ones. I had a blast and I hope they invite me back!
A shout-out to Barbara P, we’re all thinking of you, fingers crossed for a speedy recovery!
P.S. Tomorrow is the tenth anniversary of my first blogpost – who knew I had so much to say! Hope you've had as much fun reading as I've had saying!

That's an awesome bag! BTW - I also take my own pillow. Actually, I like to take my own space (in the form of a camper), but I'm a little over the top. LOL

I've been reading an article a day from Knitwords. So thankful to have the complete collection. It has been very good information. Now to master each skill that I read about.

So glad you were at Spring Fling this year. You are so inspiring! I'm almost done with a Girly Hoodie with some lace added. It's turning out so cute. I'll send a picture when I'm done. Glad you made it home safely.
