I read her blog and knew that she was coming into town for her book signing and I thought about going, but I also knew it was the day that I was getting my braces off (MONDAY 11/9).

In response to your knitting question, I don't have a lot of great advice for learning on your own. Some knitters have suggested knittinghelp.com. But I took a class, because I needed someone there to walk me through it. But that's just me. There's a needle arts shop by my house, but any fabric/craft store like JoAnn's would probably have classes. I hope to take another class this spring, maybe mittens or hats or something like that. Good luck. Let me know when you get started. It's really fun, and I hope you think so, too.

:P
