Calendar this

I'm starting to have days where I feel more like myself, although I'm still a little weirded out by how it feels like someone drove a bulldozer through my brain, killing a zillion neurons and leaving me with inertia and blankness. Thank you again for the kind cards, messages & emails -- I am going to start answering them this weekend.

In happier news, my girl-crush Véronik Avery will be in Philadelphia in two weeks! She will be appearing at Loop on Saturday, January 23rd, from 12 to 3 p.m., to sign books. (Loop is located in Center City Philadelphia, at 1914 South Street.) Loop has Véronik's first book and the premier issue of St-Denis Magazine on hand, as well as her lovely Nordique yarn, and if you're like me, it's enough to just sit near her and bask in her fabulosity. (Maybe we can entice her to tell us about her new yarn, which she is showing off at TNNA in California even as you read this, and some of the gorgeous new garments sure to be in the spring St-Denis Magazine.)

The other thing that has cheered me up immensely is that I was nominated for a Bobby Award on Ravelry, in the category of Best Handdyed/Handpainted Yarn! So please go here and vote for BBF....

There's more to come this January, including some book reviews and other goodies, but for now, I'm still taking things a bit slow.
