I'm an excited girl! I just snagged the last spot in Annie Modesitt's class at Lori's in Alpine! I can't wait! Perhaps Annie will be my NBF. And she'll teach me how to knit gorgeous sweaters and she'll say things like, "Hilari, I have way too much cashmere yarn - all the companies keep sending it to me. I can't make them stop! Here - you have it. No I insist. Really. Use it to practice your sock knitting." Oh, it'll be so much fun!
I've never met Annie, but I've always imagined that she looked like Annie Potts. Or she's got curly red hair and hangs out with a bald dude.
In other news, I've been cleaning, clearing and getting rid of stuff around the house. I've got a bunch of yarn I'm ready to let go of. I'm trying to decide if I want to try and sell it on ebay or just give it away. It's all acrylic stuff, so I don't think anyone I know will be really interested in it. It's mostly stuff I got in big bags of yarn from the thrift.
I've also finally installed Photoshop and Illustrator on my computer. Works fine and my Sims don't object a bit. Speaking of my Sims, I found another funny behavior - it looks like dancing is a learned behavior. The more they dance the better they get at it. Well, one of my Sims had a party and one of the guests started dancing. Looked like a combination of the chicken dance and that Steve Martin happy feet dance. All the other Sims went into a corner and started laughing and whispering about the bad dancer. Pretty funny.
Cool! That looks like it will be fun. I've never been to Lori's; I think that trunk show will be a good excuse to go. I'm just going to look of course, because I'm still adhering to my one month yarn diet resolution. I'm impressed that you're cleaning stuff out...I'm trying!

Dude, you are so plugged in--what is she going to teach you guys to knit?
And, I guess I'll never dance in front of you. Or your Sims. My funky chicken is clearly too Funky for You.

I love the Annie Modesitt/Annie Potts analogy! And I really hope your cashmere fantasy comes true. Just in time for the yarn swap.
Have fun at your workshop--we want a full report!
