This morning I hung out at the local knitting store. The Knit Knack in Arvada is where I learned how to knit a few years ago. Since I am so slow to finish projects, I don't go in there frequently but it is so cozy and the staff is so helpful that I'm considering hanging out there. I could have my own stool and they could call me Norm....or maybe Purl...Anyway, the owner, Geri, took the time to help me understand the pattern that I'm going to attempt with the beautiful yarn that she helped me select. My friend Marie came in and I also ran into my friend Jennifer! I really could have stayed there all day!
Marie is my knitting partner in crime and gave me some advice that humbled me. If you are an avid follower of my blog, you will know that iPads are my passion and my job. Well, in the store I was admiring a cloth portfolio that could hold a knitting pattern complete with a magnetic bar to mark your place on the pattern. As I was convincing myself that I had to have this item, Marie snapped me out of it in a language I understand. "Just download your pattern into Notabililty on your iPad and highlight where you are." What!? That should have come from my wired brain! I guess that is why I hang with Marie....she's not just a pretty face!
