Before Hurricane Irene arrived on Saturday, Fibre Space held a book signing party for Wendy Johnson's latest book, Wendy Knits Lace. I had picked up my copy earlier in the week, and good thing I did as Fibre Space had sold out of her books during the event. "Wendy Knits Lace" has a wide variety of lace projects including scarves, shawls, sweaters, mittens, cowls, and socks.
I had a wonderful time catching up with Wendy and becoming a "Wendy Knits Junior Stalker" and meeting her out-of-town guests, Stacy and and her sister, Muriel. Stacy dyes beautiful Tempted Yarns. Wendy is a gracious host, spending time with each of her fans and listening to our "Wendy Knits" stories.
I have several projects going at the moment, however, I plan on knitting Wendy's Diamond Lace socks the first chance I get in my STR Goody Goody sock yarn. The photography in Wendy Knits Lace is exquisite and I very much enjoyed seeing all of Wendy's designs in person.
Thank you to Wendy and Fibre Space for an incredible afternoon!
Sounds like a good time. Hope you made it through the storm ok.

How exciting to be at the book signing party. I wish I was there too as I also just received my copy. I hope to meet Wendy one day as I am a great fan.
