Recap: KnitFit in Seattle Adventure

My friend Malia and I attended the Knit Fit event this last weekend, in Seattle, and have created a video to share a little of our experience with you. There is a website, KnitFitSeattle.com, they also have a Facebook page, Twitter and Instagram.

Here are links to Sivia Harding, Lorilee Beltman, Andrea Rangel, Blissful Knits, Bumble Birch, Farm Girl, Hazel Knits, Knerd String, as well as all the the vendors we didn't mention, which include the folks, Veronika and Danny of YOTH, the only photograph I posted in Instagram, and then forgot to mention we we were being chatty....

This was not the first adventure Malia and I have been on together, we've attended the Seattle Mariner's Stitch and Pitch, the first time I ever went to see a live game, EVER, was just us two.

Video Book Review of Urban Knit Collection by Kyle Kunnecke

Thank you for accepting my invitation to view this new post.

This is an unusually long 20+ minutes because I also received a package from Dizzy Blonde Studios as well. This was consisting of goodies I ordered to celebrate their Knit Dizzney 2016 event, held every year the Sunday AFTER Labor Day weekend (this year was September 11th). Dizzy Blonde makes things available for those who attend and those of us who wish we were there. This year's items (based on the yarny theme 'HOOK') was a t-shirt, yarn and project bag. Check it out ~ I talked like a Pirate for a couple of days, with all of the booty that came in this package!

This is what happened at my desk with the package from
Dizzy Blonde Studios arrived. 

This is an unsolicited opinion, mine, of a new book. You can find me in Ravelry as wearingpurple, in Twitter as wearingpurple1 and I have a public group in Facebook called Pursuit of Happy Knits. Also, I'm also in Instagram account and in Pinterest.

Happy Sunday!

This is actually as we were starting out, from the boat launch area.
I love the lily pads to the right there, I can't recall having seen
that before we moved here.
