Sometimes it is good to have simple plans. Today I wanted to just have a laid back evening after work My plan went like this:
Step 1: Walk to the Shake Shack and procure a delicious treat.
Step 2: Walk to the Knitting Mochimochi book signing at the LBYS.
Step 3: Go home and walk dogs.
When I found myself still sitting at my desk at work at nearly 6pm I almost gave up and just went home, but I was lured down to Madison Square Park by the though of a cool, tasty concrete. I'm glad I didn't go home because it turned out to be a fantastic evening. First I got a hopscotch concrete from the Shake Shake. Then I made my way to the Lion Brand Yarn Studio and as tasty as the concrete was, I had an even better time at the Knitting Mochimochi event.
There were many things that added up to a great event. For starters all of the wonderful creations from the book were on display to see and touch. Even better, Anna Hrachovec was really, really nice and fun to talk to, and I got to chat with her about about how she comes up with her original and creative patterns. I bought two copies of Anna's beautiful new book and managed restrain myself from pouring over them long enough to ask her to sign them.
To top things all off I entered the raffle and I actually won! I never win raffles. Ever. I never even get junk when my company gives away stuff vendors foist off on us. But if there was ever a time for me to win a raffle I'm really glad that it was this one. The prize was a copy of all the patterns from the Mochimochi Land store! Isn't that fantabulous?!?! I'm soo excited!! I hardly know where to even begin....
Oh, and I took a second to grab a pair of sock blockers for the socks I've been working on, but I'm not sure I'll be working on socks again for a little while.
