My dear friend in adventurous crafting Karen, author & inspiration Kathleen Taylor, and myself at Athena's Fibers in Sioux Falls, SD, at a book signing. I of course didn't reserve a copy of her book in advance, so I didn't get her to sign anything for me but I did get my picture taken with her! I since ordered two of her knitting books, Knit One, Felt Too and I (Heart) Felt, which are amazingly easy to understand even for a novice knitter like me. Apparently she was a fiction writer previously and she recommended I start with The Hotel South Dakota because that was when she "really hit her writing stride." And that one came today in the mail! Yea!
