kitty: Ysolda's book signing at WonderKnits

Ysolda's Book Signing at WonderKnits
	Ok... This may sound really corny, but here goes..."Dreams Really Do Come True." In the blog world there are bloggers that you always hope that you will have the honor to meet, Ysolda has always been one of those bloggers for me. Tonight I had the honor to meet her at WonderKnits on her Whimsical Little Knits US Book Tour. I have always been a huge fan of her designs and thoroughly enjoyed reading when ever she posted on her blog. Though I haven't made a lot of her patterns the ones I have made have always turned out well and have been really easy to understand and follow. A Special Thanks to Libby and all the people who were involved in the Book Signing. It was to amazingly cool! THANK YOU
Signing the copies that I bought.	See the full set of photos
