Had a bitchin four days in Oakland. Yep, that's right, Oakland, for the TKGA Knit and Crochet Show. I slept in a room all to myself, got up when I wanted, went to bed when I wanted and, here's the kicker, knitted, knitted, knitted when I wanted! 4:30 am, didn't matter, nobody to bother, to answer to, just me. Now here's the catch...all that self nuturing, fun and magic is a hard thing to turn off. I'm home, and now it's time for dusting, dishes, diapers and dinners! Don't get me wrong, homemaking is what I do, willingly, but I've never had the experience of having to switch mentalities before. Totally new lesson.I'm craving my needles. The hunger almost hurts. On top of that, I had the opportunity to meet so many special women (hi Dawn, Karen, Frances and Jacque!), one of which is a favorite author and sister knitter, Vickie Howell. Totally cool person. I went to the show alone, and came home with new valued friends, not just knitting skills...sigh.....Well, the laundry is done, and if I play my cards right, I'll get to practice my Celtic Cables until the wee hours!!!!!
