What A Day!!!~ A post from Kelli

OH BOY did I have a check that one off the bucket list day~ meeting and talking with Jared Flood, we're like pals,he is a easy to talk with, smiley, listens and answers questions, along with being talented he's a pleasent and gracious man. My friend Sherry and I drove 2 hours down to Tacoma Washington where the yearly Madrona Fiber Arts Winter Retreat show/classes are held. Sherry wore her Juneberry and I wore my Leaves of Grass which Jared asked about. I told him about this blog and the knit-a-long. He hung on every word, I told him my Bridgewater story and Sherry told him about the Christmas exchange party where she tried to hold on to his PEI pattern/Loft yarn gift(from Morgen)by licking the pattern and sitting on it. Which was stold the next turn. We got him laughing. It was a great day. Yes I did walk away with some Shelter, handspun yarns and a couple of patterns I can't wait to start. I could have sat all day people watching the fine knitted garments walk by. The day went by too fast. Not sure I need to go next year but I'm glad I did this year. Happy Valentine's Day~ Kelli
