Knitter's Review... Squee!!!
Friday, August 21, 2009 at 8:53AM
Did you see Knitter's Review yesterday? Clara Parkes wrote about Sock Summit. And the yarn she bought from me. Here's a link to the article.
Can I just say, "SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!"
It's so exciting! Not only is there a fabulously sweet picture of the Lollipop BFL Sock in Pamplemousse that Clara Bought, but the article perfectly captures the feeling of Sock Summit -- the scale, the spectacle, the fun (including my favorite response from a Luminarian, when Barbara Walker, when asked how she accomplished so much in her life, said that she neglected to get her TV repaired for 5 years, and she only needs four hours of sleep a night, and Stephanie summed it up this way: "To recap: don't sleep and get rid of your TV."). Thanks, Clara, for a great article, and I'm so happy you like Lollipop, because if you didn't... well. I'd be very afraid.
Wool Candy has had an incredible response to the article already -- thank you so much, everyone! It's amazing to have a chance to get exposure like this for my little shop, and I'm so happy to have made new friends from it as well. When I opened the shop, I never realized quite how much fun I would have getting to meet so many nice knitters, see so many wonderful projects, and learn so much.
I'm off to see my sister in San Luis Obispo today, and to meet my new niece (who's not all that new anymore -- she was born May 29th) for the first time, and squeeze my little Lily again too.
