Very Excited!

A few weeks ago I was reading Ysolda's blog which is one of my favorites. She designs some lovely things especially hats. ESPECIALLY especially the Gretel which I promised to make for Bean but haven't yet begun. Don't worry Bean, you'll get it before it gets cold again.
As I was saying, I was reading Ysolda's blog and she said she was going to be coming to the US! I was excited because she was going to be here on the East Coast. I told Alyssa, the manager of The Point, about Ysolda's trip and asked her if she'd want to have Ysolda come to the store for a lesson or a book signing or anything! Of course she did and they got in touch and, voila, Ysolda will be at The Point! Alyssa said that she's going to do a lottery for seats but, because I was the one who informed her about Ysolda's visit, Al and I already have a couple of seats! I'm so excited! She's from Scotland which is where my dad was born and she's beautiful and creates lovely things. I can't wait to meet her! I'm hoping she'll have some of her books to sign and sell. Yay!
On another absolutely non-knitting note, have you heard of Susan Boyle? Well she's a very unassuming looking, middle aged woman who sang on Britain's Got Talent. Well she walked out on stage and was a bit cheeky and the judges, and audience, were rolling their eyes thinking she was gonna be a stinker. Lo and behold, this woman can SING! She sang a song from Les Miserables and blew their socks off! If you'd like to hear this angelic voice you can do so here. This just proves you should never, EVER judge a book by it's cover.
