Today was D-day. I participated in a workshop, given by Brandon Mably.
It was..... amazing. Brandon was witty, funny, inspiring, he gave us all a boost. We picked colours, knitted poppies, added accent colours, found contrasts, had fun and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.
And then - very silently - almost unnoticed, God entered the room, disguised as Kaffe Fassett.

He just sat there, knitting a gorgeous scarf in many colours. I was surprised, you always make a picture in your mind of somebody you've never actually met. He is much taller than I expected. And although he's quiet in a corner, I had the impression he has seen and heard everything. His eyes have a twinkle, and he is a very very kind man.
These are some of the pictures I took with my mobile phone, so the quality isn't top.

Many thanks to the organisers of this workshop, it was all perfect. I do hope this calls for an encore !
Just one remark : travelling from my town to Leuven is only about 130 km. By car you have to pass Brussels, known for its endless traffic jams. To avoid these I decided to take the train. I got up a 5.30 this morning, took the 6.42 train, arrived at 8.30 in leuven. So far, so good. But returning, the train was seriously delayed and I got home at.... 8 pm. Famished. (but happy...)
Thank you for sharing - you are sooo lucky. And such wonderful work you all did!!
