Not If I See You First
It was two years ago that I started this blog- right after Maryland Sheep and Wool '06. Boy, has a lot happened since then.
Biscuit grew up.
Fricklet appeared on the scene.
I edited an edition of Yarnival, hosted some contests, won some contests, joined Flickr, joined Ravelry, knit a whole mess of stuff, learned some basic crochet, fended off the urge to spin (though a certain someone who shall remain nameless has designated herself my spinny godmother/pusher), ran Ravelraiser ($71,000! $71,000!!), opened an Etsy shop...what am I missing?
Oh, yes- I've made SO many friends...who have never actually seen me in person.
(Gloria cowl in Knittery Sock yarn won in one of the aforementioned contests from Nora Raveled here.)
I think I could get away without being recognized at MDSW pretty easily. And it's tempting. After all, in person I'm way awkward and nervous and dorky. I've only ever shown my face once or twice around here, and you'd have to dig to find those posts. But my cover's gonna totally be blown because El Biscuit-o is going to be my escort, and he's pretty hard to disguise (though a tiny mustache would be AWESOME, no?). So I'll see you there! And the world will finally know the truth-
I do, in fact, have a forehead.
PS- New set is up in the shop, and it's my favorite so far! Take a peek: Treat Yourself.
I'll be looking for those blond curls and that killer lip gloss!

Wish I could be there!

Sadly, I will only know you as you are here today: an attractive woman sans forehead.
Enjoy MS&W and the Ravelry Raves! Oh, and thanks for reminding me I have that very yarn from the Knittery.

See you Sat.

OH a tiny mustache might be worth flying out to that festival thing you east coasters are always talking about, even though my hands are hurting and I'm not knitting right now. Okay, I'd fly out to see you, and someday I shall.

Surprisingly, I actually have a whole head not just a neck and wisps of hair.
Happy 2!

nice post! i won't see you at mds&w, but soon, anyway!
Posted by: Mintyfresh | May 01, 2008 at 09:06 PM
Have a great time! I wish I could be there. Maybe next year!
Do you think the Biscuit would *wear* the moustache? That would be so great if he did! Mine would complain it itches... ;)

Have a blast! I keep wanting to make a trip back to Maryland, where my husband and I went to college. Now that I know there's a fiber festival, I may have to plan my timing accordingly when we finally have the funds for such a trip.
Posted by: Kristen | May 01, 2008 at 09:22 PM
And yet, ANOTHER reason why I wish I could go to MS&W. I'd love to see your forehead ;)

Have a blast there! I think you'll be so pleasantly surprised by how many people will be overjoyed to finally meet you!

This Marylander is so bummed out to be missing it! Have a great time Julie...here's to a great two years! So glad we've "met".

The new notes are gorgeous! Well done! Have a great trip to the M S & W!
Posted by: Stacey | May 02, 2008 at 04:42 AM
Well, I guess those of us who won't be there will just have to keep imagining your forehead! Maybe Biscuit could snap a shot for us.
Posted by: Leslie | May 02, 2008 at 05:29 AM
Haha, I would love to see the mustache :)
Seriously, congrats, you've achieved SO MUCH in two years.

I guess I will have to just wait to see proof of your forehead. I do regret missing the opportunity to get your rockstar and my prepster together though. Now that would be one cute photo shoot. Happy 2 to you!

If it's cold enough to wear cowls, you might be recognizable. :)
Sounds like an eventful 2 years of blogging. I only recently started reading, but I enjoy your posts so much!
Oh, and the new set of pictures is great! I just love the wine pouring one (boyfriend is a big wine man, and I'm a knitter - it's like a photo fusion of the two of us!).

Delurking to say that I *love* that shot of the candy-colored pinwheel of roving! So gorgeous! Have a great time in MD!
Posted by: Andrea | May 02, 2008 at 09:41 AM
Yay! The Biscuit! Sorry to miss all of you. But have a great time.

Just wanted to say that all my friends and relatives are tired of hearing me say "The cowl is the new scarf", but I keep on chugging them out. Dolores park, Cherry Garcia, Luxe (2 of them so far) and next up is, of course the
Gloria! I will be all set for holiday gifts this year. Thanks for the inspiration and have fun this weekend!

Don't make me work for it too hard! If you see me, yell!
Posted by: turtlegirl76 | May 02, 2008 at 02:32 PM
The Fricklet would totally rock a Snidely Whiplash moustache.

Ain't blogging grand?! I saw you at the Ravelry party but was too high on wool fumes and giddy from winning a prize (Unicorn wool wash) to say hello in person.
