Represent, 10 second video clip style

Dear Knittah,

To give you a bit more of a feel of things at the Toronto book launch, Noricum took some videos. Here's the first:

Sadly, after the first, Noricum forgot that when she holds her camera sideways, the camera films sideways. If you get motion-sickness, you may want to tilt your monitor, or watch with your eyes closed:







I'm sorry they're so short and that there aren't very many, but Noricum's camera wasn't meant to be used as a video camera and so has limitations. She also didn't want to use up all the battery and memory before we got to the Spotted Dick.

Okay... now I'm off to upload all the photos so I can blog about them. Wait until you see all the neat people I met!!!

Love,
Swatchy

Knittah Representin'

Dear Swatchy,

Wow. Just, wow. You got to go to the Lettuce Knit SnB. You met the Yarn Harlot. And Amy Singer. And the Keyboard Biologist. Wow. It's a knit blogger's dream come true.

I would love to go to Lettuce Knit and meet all those great folks. But chances are, I never will. Travel is hard when you have CFIDS. The reality is that Toronto will probably never rise to the top of my long list of places I want to see. Unless the Yarn Harlot comes to Philly, I'll probably never meet her. At least Amy Singer is coming this summer, and Nori and I will try to get there.

Seeing your pictures is bittersweet. On the one hand, I'm thrilled that you and Noricum had such a great time. But it is a sad reminder of what I cannot do. That is why Noricum suggested this blog to begin with! I made you, Swatchy, because Noricum said she would carry you to great places, and a piece of me would come along.

She was right. A piece of me was representing along with you both.

Love, Knittah

Preparing To Represent!

Dear Knittah,

I wanted to assure you that I'm working on a tuque (Look at me! I'm speaking Canadian!) so that Noricum and I can properly "represent" while we're in Toronto. (Noricum is busy packing and thinking about her talk, so she assigned this task to me.) However, I misjudged and started the decreases a bit too early... it turns out most people don't have shallow heads like me.

Charity Hat

It shouldn't take me too long to finish.

Oh... do you think it's okay that Noricum and I bring just the one hat for both of us?

Love,
Swatchy
