Lana and I missed each other at the last Illinois knit-together, so she and I met today at the LYS

I didn't realize she was so knowledgable... not just about knitting, about EVERYTHINGGGGGGGG! :-) Lana was wearing this gorgeous was-gonna-be-a-sweater- VEST she made.... I saw the owner of the LYS eyeing it up jealously
I can't say enough how this website has brought me new friends. If there are people from KH *anywhere* near you, you really owe it to yourself to try and meet them... It's amazing how "pulling loops through other loops" enhances your quality of life: not just in the act of doing it, but in the people it brings together.
