I'm knitting and writing about fourteen hours a day right now, finishing up as much work as possible before I take off for what is turning out to be quite a nice little tour of the West Coast. Here are the details:
Seattle, Washington

ReplyDeleteThis needs to be animated! Great cartoon.
ReplyDeleteLOVE! Have a wonderful West visit! Who is in charge of the place while you're away?
ReplyDeletei hope this means you employed full time as a "knitter".
ReplyDeletemarie in florida
San Jose ????? Please? It's just a little jog south of San Francisco --
ReplyDeleteGreat cartoon! Wish you were coming to Chico, CA - just about 4 hours SouthEast of Eureka :-)
ReplyDeleteThat cartoon deserves to be framed (and up on my wall!)
ReplyDeleteLol, and if I click my heels? I got some joy hoping you would stop in Denver, for a second.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth would have laughed out loud, just like I did.. brilliant.

ReplyDeleteno portland? :(
ReplyDeleteYeah, no Portland? We're right in the middle between Seattle and California, and we have lots of great yarn stores.

I have to say, I'm totally excited to be attending your workshop in Eureka. I can hardly contain myself. I'm traveling from Colusa, which is in the middle of the Valley (Southwest of Chico :)) Yay!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you've got someone keeping an eye on Dolores.
ReplyDelete(Don't make Harry do it, that's asking too much!)
I'm jealous of all those westerners. When will New England wake up and invite you out OUR way??
But if you say "Hex mesh," you get Herbert Niebling!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for Eureka!! I didn't even know who you were when I registered for the class, no I watch daily for your blog :)
ReplyDeletePlease, please bring your "Photographing Your Fiber" class to New England, I need that class! I love taking pictures, but yarn is a challenge to me.
ReplyDeleteOh, dear. I feel like such a bad knitter. When I first looked at the cartoon, before I read it, I thought that was Jon Stewart peering over her shoulder, not EZ.....
ReplyDeleteI am very excited to attend your class! Thanks for gracing Humboldt with your presence!
ReplyDeleteWe're heading to Eureka as well, but about a week ahead of you. Sorry we'll be back in Canada when you do your classes. Thanks for the heads up on the great shop!
ReplyDeleteFranklin!!! I just moved AWAY from Eureka! It's a small town and I never would have imagined we could lure you there! They did and I'm not going to be there. I could just cry. Seriously. Just cry.
ReplyDeletePity you'll be missing Oregon Flock and Fiber. It's that weekend.
ReplyDeleteIf you are driving down and taking a couple of days to do it, swing into Ashland and visit The Web-sters. They're a lovely gem in the middle of Oregon Shakespeare Festival country.
WHAT! Not Portland? :o(
ReplyDeleteOh, i just visited northern CA last month for the first time ever. I couldn't believe how much wonderful empty space there was!
ReplyDeleteand that's coming from Texas! have a great trip!
CALENDAR signings? Is there a new calendar? Or are we all re-using 2009 (I am) and bringing that in to be signed?
ReplyDeleteLove from Jean
when oh when are you coming to the northeast? Haven't seen you since Rhinebeck - two years ago! Tsk tsk.
ReplyDeleteWell, damn! I am so disappointed. I (and my DH) would love the photography class, and we're in the Northwest. Trouble is, we're out of town in the East those weeks! Damn, damn, damn. I am bummed. Please return and soon.
ReplyDeleteLisa
Is that midnight at the *start* of Hallowe'en, or the *end* of it?
ReplyDeleteThis spooked me because I have "The Opinionated Knitter" on my desk as I read this and I had to do a double-take.
ReplyDeleteI can't get enough of Elizabeth Zimmermann - I worship her. Not only talented, visionary etc. - but very funny too!
So funny! I'm finally going to get to see you at the Vogue knitting thing in NY - can't wait!
AWESOME cartoon. David even appreciated it. Maybe he's starting to get the "bug"? Gosh wouldn't it be great to have a partner in fiber crime?
ReplyDeleteSafe travels!
I'm so happy that you're coming to Seattle! I'll see you at the Weaving Works! Can hardly wait. (Happy Dance)
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking that we need t shirts for your devotees saying "I've got a Franklin habit"
ReplyDeleteYou have to know we are all going to try this....
ReplyDeleteSounds like Harry is happy to be making the trip to the westcoast!
ReplyDeleteTo those who commented on the lack of a PDX stop, you have to ask your local yarn store(s) to sponsor a visit.
ReplyDeleteIf driving south from Seattle, you may wish to add in a stop at Shipwreck Beads. I'm in no way responsible to the dent to your pocketbook if you do stop there. Just a friendly suggestion. ;-) http://www.shipwreckbeads.com/
I´m absolutely going to try it!
ReplyDeleteBTW, maybe you need to vet your comments. Check out #36. Someone´s trashing your comments with a promo. Yuck!
OH! I want that cartoon on a knitting bag (especially since I'm a Halloween baby) Fabulous, as usual!
ReplyDeleteI love it!!! Can I please post it on my blog in order to show your art? Somehow I feel that a link is not enough.
ReplyDeleteThanks in advance
Pilar
i'm gonna try it this halloween.
ReplyDeleteBWAHAHA!
ReplyDeleteCute cartoon, I love the look on EZ's face. I am heading off to camp with Meg and Amy in a week so EZ's been on my mind lately.
ReplyDeletePretty effective data, thanks for the article.
ReplyDeleteserammmmm
