Anyway, last week real life and internet life collided when I found myself sitting across a coffee shop table from real life knitblogger, Barefoot Rooster. We "met" during last year's Fingerless Mitts for Fall KAL and have shared emails and blog comments over the past year. Let me tell you, it was so cool to meet her! And she provided further proof that knitters are the most interesting, smart, awesome people out there. We chatted over coffee and chai, and in a completely small world moment, it was revealed that she went to the same university as my brother during two of the same years. Who knows? Maybe our paths have crossed before!
We then took a walk to her fantastic LYS and did a little shoppin':
Unfortunately, purchases were made from the full price bins.
Another cool thing was getting to see her knitting in real life! (See awesome leg warmers above).
Thanks so much for such a great morning! I hope we can do it again soon.

What fun! Steve often says that blogging is a lot like having pen pals.
Want to know a coincidence? I began blogging last May and this weekend I'm going to have my first meeting with a fellow blogger - for Sunday brunch. Weird timing parallels.
That's a very cute picture of you two!
Très cool.
