The magic of free books

Last Sunday was Mel Clark’s visit & book signing at Knit & Pearl.
Unfortunately for me, I left my book, and hooded scarf from the book, in the car that my husband drove the kids home in after church. Alas, I had no book for her to sign.
We met and talked a bit about the patterns in the book, what we like to knit, altering patterns to our liking and so on and so forth. After a while of being there and chattin’ it up Mel approached me with a book she had signed just for me, a gift from one teacher to another, she said! Knowing that I had a book already but didn’t have it there she took it upon herself to give me a signed copy anyways. I was so pleased!!
And Congratulations to Julie for having such a big turnout! I was so touched by all of the people that came to the signing and hung out for a bit. Now if we could get more knit authors to come that would rock!

It was so nice to meet Mel Clark! My only regret is that I wasn’t familiar with the book already so I had more to talk with her about.
It’s my first “official” knitting book and there are a ton of projects that I want to make from it!
Thanks for giving us all the heads up Chauntel!
