Lovely and amazing.
I have been secretly in love with Rachael since she knit Alice Starmore’s Cromarty in custom-dyed Koigu Kersti. She is not so secretly in love with Lala. And last night, I had the absolute pleasure of meeting them both after their wedding here in Vancouver. A lovely and amazing couple.
Also at the Sylvia Hotel reception last night were Mandy (Yarnageddon) and Janice (Rabbitch) who were the witnesses at the ceremony, Zak (Mandy’s DH), Rachael (photographer), Siew and Heather. All lovely and amazing people.
Of course, I was too shy to bring my camera, so you can go see Rabbitch’s photos here… or Rachael’s photos here…
Oh, and in case I accidentally gave anybody the impression that I spun up all the silk for the Flower Basket Shawl in one day (!)… this is the entirety of what I spun:
It’s a teeny tiny amount, but just enough to knit up a sample!

What a beautiful color!
Yeah, well, I’m still impressed.
Pretty! How much more are you hoping to spin?
And of course I don’t even have enough grace to link to you. Could I be any more crass? (The answer is yes, btw).
So good to meet you! That was a lot of fun. They should get married more often.
Beautiful! Glad you had a lovely time
I’m SO glad we got to meet you. We had a fabulous time — best drink-up reception knit-out EVER. xo
That color is pretty. Can’t wait to see the finished Flower Basket Shawl. That shawl is still on my list of things to make when I get around to it!
Hi Felicia… did I miss the new stock at your yarn shop?
All of your colors are beautiful. And your knitting matches. Excuse me now, while I go stare at all the colors again.
i’ve taught a few friends. i too start with the long-tail CO, then knit stitch. i save binding off and purling for next time we meet though! and i’m a poor teacher because i tell them buy stitch’n’ bitch and read up on GAUGE there. hahaha!
