Well life seems pretty dull after you've met knitting royalty. After a day of absolute highs, everything else just seems so mundane. I still can't believe it all happened - was it a dream?
BUT, everytime anyone writes about Teva Durham's new book, Loop d Loop, I get excited. It's been on my Amazon Japan wishlist for months! I know a lot of people have this book already, but it's not on sale here in Japan yet. It will be the very first book I buy in the US when we arrive in New York in eight days! Holy moly. It'll be such a nice break from Japan.
So, I read on Knitter's Review that Teva is having a book launch party in NYC at night on June 1. I wrote to Teva to see if it is ok if I pop in (and get my book signed of course - duh!), and it all looks ok except that I don't have anyone to go with - anyone in NYC keen?? I want to spend at least one day haunting all the cool knitting stores, etc.
ps I signed up for Secret Pal 5 (coz I'm such a sucker). I think I'll keep the pinku and the prince banner up until the post falls off this page.....and also to keep that fire burnin'!!!
you are going to love that book! it is fantastic. i wonder if teva will come to norway on a booksigning tour ... ;-)

I LOVE THE NEW BANNNER!!! it's so cute. Loop d loop is a super great book. It's full of beautiful pictures and wondenful patterns! You'll love it. I'm glad you discovered lululemon. I have been buying their clothes for about 6-7 years, and just love it. it's gone for workout clohtes to everyday wear for me!! I just bought some new light pink, dark pink and black ones that are great!! ps, if you are ever in canada, it's cheaper than in the US, and likely japan. my bother is in tokyo, so i'm hoping he can get me a lulu in tokyo shirt!! thank again for doing the hairpin swap.

I bought the book a few weeks ago and can't stop looking at it! I think I am in love with almost everything in there. Definitely worth the buy. Enjoy your trip!

Everyone's going mad about that book! It's not in the uk either (I think) but I'll have to peek when it is.

I finally broke down and bought it... I can't wait to get it in the mail. It looks amazing.

I'm a lazy NYC knitter - and will be definitely stopping by at Teva's launch next week. I love your blog -- I'm Japanese, but I've never lived there, so it's very fun to read/see about your life there. Cya!
