If you haven't gotten the opportunity then you're definitely missing out on something special. She is witty, intelligent, approachable & the farthest thing from pretentious ever there was. Motivational & inspirational, she makes you feel welcome & worthy regardless if colour, race or social economic level. A refreshing change to the norm.
(Pic of Steph asking us knitters to unite for the cause, lol.)I suppose I could be viewed as a Harlot groupie, but for the most part, I think Steph realizes that I'm harmless, I just don't get out a whole heck of a lot & I'm a little obsessed with the whole knitting thing in general.
I also decided to take my (new-to-me) Blythe doll "Lydia". And, as luck would have it, was able to show Steph what a Blythe was (I'm hoping she's a better person for being enlightened, but she may just think I've crossed that fine weirdo line, lol). Erin (my friend in T.O. who I bought Lydia off of), was more than thrilled that Lydia got to meet such "Knitting Royalty"; her words.
Anyway, I have a ton of things to show/talk/blog about & really need to set aside some time to do so. Until then, peace out, Boop

Hi Just wanted to say I love your pics of YH. I totally think she is awesome too. I saw her at Indigo's in Toronto earlier this year. So nice and real people.
It's almost ridiculous how much I love this woman. She makes me laugh, and almost cry. She's real, and normal, and an incredible knitter. I am a Harlot groupie. I don't think it's pathetic. :)
I'm hoping to see Yarn Harlot next month here in Atlanta.. I'm very excited. I've been coveting a Blythe doll of my very own ever since I saw them dressed up in tiny little goth fashions.
Mouse, that's what totally got me hooked on Blythes too. I'll be posting a pic of the custom I just finished for my daughter. She's really cool with glow-in-the-dark green eyes.
And, I'm getting the "Ultimate Tour" Blythe for X-Mas. Have you seen her?? She is the coolest stock blythe ever.
If not, here's a link to check out. You will so love her!!

Yep, love the yarn harlot! I'm hoping to see her in Atlanta too!! I have tickets and I'm dragging hubby along too!
I think Lydia needs a cardigan, if 15C was the highs.
OMG! Too funny, Erin in T.O. is also my friend (and I pride myself on getting her into knitting and blythe dolls) and she got me into reading your blog! Heeee :)
