When Worlds Collide
Stephanie.
And Tina Newton of Blue Moon Fiber Arts (you can't see her, but trust me, she's there)
And The Sock.
On TMK’s couch.
With Frankie.
It’s more than my brain can handle.
Cue the spinning-vortex image from “Vertigo.”
Ooooo, color me jealous!
Posted by: Kristen on April 25, 2008 02:18 PMUrk! I am so jealous I just inhaled a Dove Dark Chocolate square. TMK, can I have the end of your couch?
Posted by: Barbara on April 25, 2008 03:13 PMLook at how Frankie is checking her out. "You don't earn any special status with me lady unless you scritch the ears properly."
Posted by: Laurie on April 25, 2008 08:09 PMDamn! I'm only a tad envious!
Posted by: (formerly) no-blog-rachel on April 25, 2008 10:52 PMDude, I have been in that living room and skritched that dog. I have also been hugged by Stephanie. The thought, however, of all of it at once is quite overwhelming.
I'm so glad you offered her a port in the storm.
Posted by: Rabbitch on April 26, 2008 04:38 AMSteph's writing of spending time with the lot of you was glowing, so glad for the good times and being there for her, she seriously needed that time.
Dude, those are NICE pants she has on :^D
Jealous doesn't come CLOSE to describing what I'm feeling!!!
Posted by: Cynthia on April 26, 2008 07:31 AMOK. I am now consumed with jealousy, but so glad she was able to spend a quiet evening at your place. She gave you good reviews, too!
Posted by: ellenk on April 26, 2008 01:15 PMYou totally *rock*! Sounds like a lovely evening and the perfect antidote to Stephanie's travel stress. You know you can never wash your couch again, right? :-)
Posted by: morenna on April 26, 2008 04:39 PMNice couch.
Posted by: KarenJoSeattle on April 26, 2008 06:50 PMOoooh, Ryan! If it couldn't be ME, I'm tickled it could be YOU! That's a wonderful picture of "a few of my favorite things", i.e., YH, knitting, mighty-fine socks, a VERY nice couch (I'm particularly sensitive to those just now) and a precious Corgi, who stand in my mind as just about the epitome of wonderful dogdom. I'm a fan of Tasha Tudor and read "Corgiville Fair" at almost any opportunity! I LOVE knowing that our YH, whose schedule would bring most of us to our knees in five minutes, has the opportunity to enjoy moments like that. I DO know that they are supremely restorative, and that's HOW she manages that schedule.
Posted by: dale-harriet in WI on April 27, 2008 08:50 AMHow fun! Although I don't think I could possibly have knit in such august company -- I would have just sat there giggling quietly to myself.
Love the picture of Frankie, which simply clinches my sense that our new puppy, advertised as a Belgian shepherd mix, is mixed with Corgie (Belgians do NOT have those legs!).
Posted by: Jocelyn on April 27, 2008 09:37 AMJocelyn: When I saw the picture of your new puppy I thought I actually saw some corgi in the ears! ;-) Very cute dog!
Posted by: TMK on April 28, 2008 07:40 AMend of the couch hell! i'd take the floor, under the coffee table, behind the refrigerator, just to bein the presence of such greatness!
Posted by: minnie on April 28, 2008 08:41 AMRyan, I missed you on Saturday!! TMK & Mom came to the Cashmere yarn store when I was filling in! We talked about yarn and the craziness of Stephanie and Tina being at her house and how much I want to meet Frankie since I had Corki & Hannah the (extremely disobedient) Corgis of my childhood. Next time you come she will have to make a visit to the shop with you! And of course she is welcome in :)
Posted by: Diana on April 28, 2008 10:43 AMOh, wow!! I'm so envious! Maybe someday I'll get to see the Harlot, too; although I do have a signed copy of her first book, signed at the Maryland festival. Maybe someday I'll get to Seattle, too. (Wish, wish)
