The North is calling
No, it’s not Sweden; that will have to wait. It’s a north closer to home — home (for now) being California. At the end of August I’ll be taking a color knitting workshop in Berkeley at the home of Janine, aka feralknitter. After that, Ben
and I will drive north through Oregon and Washington state all the way up to Seattle and maybe even Vancouver. It’s a trip we’ve talked about forever and never
got around doing, and this workshop has become the catalyst to make it
happen. Along the way I hope to meet with a few friends, old and new. If things work out, we’ll stop in Eugene, Oregon, at Elissa’s farm. Elissa used to live in LA and we were part of the same spinning guild; I haven’t seen her in years. And then there’s a few online friends I would love to meet in person. Though I don’t travel well, I am looking forward to this trip. The only thing I’ll miss in those ten days or so will be the boys. Anyone interested in house sitting and spoiling two awesome lap cats?

I would love to get together when you come through here. We’re just a few minutes off the interstate through on the way to Seattle, and I have a yarn shop almost in walking distance of my house, so there’s no excuse. Let me know the dates you’ll be through and I’ll do some rearranging at work if need be.

I would totally housesit your little kitties if I lived down there. They seem really sweet and about as well-behaved as one could expect any given cat to be. Hehe

Ooh, if I lived in California I would definitely pounce on the opportunity to hang out with your cats. (Haha, get it? Pounce? I crack myself up.) Janine’s workshops always look awesome, you’ll have to tell us all about it when you get back. Have a wonderful, safe trip!

I would definitely house sit! I think I’m in love with your cats :) Sadly, I don’t live in Cali yet… Maybe in 2 – 3 years!

Oh! You will love Janine’s class- she’s great! When you get to Eugene, you have to stop in and say hi!
