Yarn Harlot Visits Us

The following entry is from our very first guest columnist, Irene Luckett, founder of Koffee Kompanions and psuedo-Mother-In-Law of SissyPrincess. Irene is also a proficient knitter and a graduate of the SP knitting school.

Yarnharlot comes to Denver!

I met Pam, Kathryn, Heather, and Lynne, Heather’s non-knitting mom who tolerates the rest of us very well, in Highlands Ranch for a book signing at Tattered Cover Bookstore. We were there to hear Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, author of several humorous books about knitting and knitters. She’s the Jerry Seinfeld of the knitting world! Her entertaining blog is called Yarnharlot. Today she wrote about the difficulties of surviving in high altitude. It was funny to us who live here but not so for Stephanie, who was suffering from altitude sickness!

Because Yarnharlot’s coffee cup looks so lonely in her blog photos, I gave her a cup lid and a coffee cozy while she signed my book. The fabric has balls of yarn printed on it.

Heather, Pam, and Kathryn chatted with Stephanie while I took photos.

Pam forgot her coffee cozy to use on her papercup of hot tea that she bought at the bookstore coffee shop. I loaned her my Kup Kollar so she wouldn’t burn her fingers. A knitter has to protect her hands!
