While at a technology related conference like SXSW, it is really exciting to find another knitter. While waiting for the Accessibility shoot-out to begin, I turned around and spotted a lady wearing a Clapotis scarf, and I almost screamed. I immediately pointed out to Matt, “See! Another knitter! We are everywhere!” because I had pointed out earlier that there are a lot of knitters online. A whole target market that people are really missing. So it was a thrill to meet Julie of Yarnmaven, and to admire her absolutely gorgeous scarf. I’m definitely going to have to get some of that yarn – it is beautiful!

ohhh yes, you’ll be drawn to the ‘Clap-Monster’ too! I’ve been eyeing interlacementsyarn.com for a summer-weight clapotis. Yay Christine! I love it when you’re all knitty. 🙂
We knitters are EVERYwhere. Watch out, people.
i hope you found a lys while you are out. i think it’s the best souvenir! you get cool yarn, and something to make, and a reminder of how much fun you had all at the same time!
Knitters will take over the world…
I agree with Gwen, lovely idea.
Shhh… I’m not allowed to talk about the trip to the LYS. It’s on S. Congress. Hill Country Weavers. Great place!
i have noticed that this knitting thing is actually becoming trendy. who knows. i can’t wait for extreme knitting competitions on espn 2.
Knit, knit knit! 😉
the mighty jimbo’s comment made me giggle. I am already eyeing yarn for the clapotis. I think I know how to handle all the stitches and everything. I’ll start in April. I’m kinda giddy thinking about it
I herd you on Eric Rice’s podcast. It kind of surprised me.
Whoo hoo! Our podcast made it! (We thought it got cut off!) *giggle*
