Tomorrow my assistant, Renate, and I are off to Connecticut for the big Stitches East conference in Hartford.  This is knitter’s heaven.  The classes are fabulous and the market  . . .  oh my!  I OWN a yarn store, and I will still buy yarn, which I’m convinced is the sign of a true addict.  (Help! Somebody stop me!)  My friend and fellow author, Christina Skye, is meeting me at the conference.  (Look for the anthology Knitting Diaries due out next April.  Christina, Susan Mallery and I each wrote stories for it.)  Christina is an accomplished and avid knitter herself.  We’re supposed to help one another resist purchasing more yarn.  I’ll let you know how that works out.
