Looks like you had a lovely trip – one day I’ll be back…..

My long-held fantasy since reading Simone de Beauvoir as a young woman is to live – yes, live – in a hotel. Would be wonderful.

So pleased the presentation went well. I once worked with a brilliant lecturer who said that in any presentation you must make no more than three points, and you must make each point in three different ways. I’ve found it to be excellent advice.

I’m in awe of people who can stand up and speak in conferences like that. The Learn to Knit classes are much more my mark!
Adrift looks lovely.

But I’m very proud that your presentation went well, not surprised at all of course..
I’m doing a new short row technique too, on the Manu. I hope it works out.
Good to he home with the the dogs and the trackies..it’s so cold atm.. Birch.

You’ve had a FULL weekend, and getting up at a conference of 200 is amazing, I would have died at the mere thought of doing it, so good on you for having the courage !
Lush hotel room too :D

And that GoT book is way fat. I can’t see myself reading those ever! Maybe in 5 years time…when they’ll be old news, heh!

Glad the conference was useful, so often they aren’t.

Lovely Unsts and Adrift is such a gorgeous colour and I can picture it whirling around as you swirl!! Giving presentations to big rooms full of people doesn’t scare me, but show me a BP monitor and I am a hopeless mess!! It is good to learn new things and you are so right about knitting being a muscle memory. It is like dancing for your fingers.
