Bonnie Pierce is one of the most amazing Crocheters!

 This is an example of her BEAUTIFUL work! And my yarn is all over that piece! She had a lovely Scrumblini(tm) of Cashgora Kid (from a little guy named Vulcan) that was tooo die for! She kept trying to describe the yarn for me and I couldn’t place it, because that little bit she had purchased at the Seattle Knitting Expo had been from the end of a bobbin of some other yarn I had spun a long time ago!

Believe I can usually remember ever skein I have ever spun! It was one of the funniest exchanges I’ve ever had, trying to pin point that silly yarn for her!

At the show I got to feel it and then I could tell her exactly WHO it came off of!

Walking into Lacis is like entering the Taj Mahal, the Louvre, or any of other wonders of the world! It takes something to take the power of speech away from me! And just walking in did just that! I was so overwhelmed I just stood there trying to absorb EVERYTHING!

Phenominal work, and two phenominal women! Margaret Hubert (left) and Myra Wood (right)…

It was such an honor and pleasure to meet these ladies, so knowledgable, and generous with their talents and knowledge. Both class acts to be sure!
