Last night was Maryland's chance to play hostess to one of the funniest people ever. Stephanie Pearl McPhee - aka the Yarn Harlot!! She was promoting her latest book - Things I Learned from Knitting.
She was brilliantly funny as usual :)
Soon after she arrived on stage - she took her obligatory sock photos of the audience...
And then settled in for a bit of story-telling.
I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard! I was there with my girls Coleen, Jolene and Erin and we had a great time knitting and chatting before the "show". There were some crazy people that had arrived at 9am to get front row seats!! (You know who you are! hehehe.) We didn't get there until around 4pm - so we are not at all crazy... nope. Not us!
Even Joe had a good time!
Yes - he loves his aunty Jody :)
After the show - we all got in line for the book signing/sock picture taking with Stephanie.
Here we are - each holding the other's sock in progress...
Coleen poses with Steph...
Jolene and Joe have their picture taken...
Joe was apparently cracking Stephanie up!
Erin and Steph...
Afterwards - we headed out for a late dinner with Amy who is the most awesome crocheter! Go check out her site - she has all kinds of cool things on there.
It was a great night!

Packing my bags to move "home."
I love the picture of you and Joe - that is TOO CUTE!!!!!!!
I had such a good time with you last night!!! All the pictures are awesome!
Joe is a total doll!
And a friend of mine was in line behind the 9AM crowd. She was impressed with their dedication.
I missed it - had to help hubby go pick up a car. Sounds like a blast, though!
aww man, i didn't even know the yarn harlot was going to be in the area! i'm sorry i missed it.
Oh such fine--wish I coulda been there
You lucky, lucky girl! I had to miss it due to a "comedy of errors" (not really so comedic) including the car that my son drives being stolen and him needing to use mine to get to a class and exam. I soooo wanted to go. Glad you enjoyed it!
