Meeting your knitting guru in person, wearing a sweater you knit from his first book, surprising him with a glove knit with his sock yarn, and having him sign your copy of his book=
PRICELESS!!
Thanks Erin (Minty) for the awesome pics!!

Wow - I'll bet that really made your day! He looks as if he was really friendly from the photos - what was he like? Love your sweater as well BTW!
Wow, that must have been great! Tell us more about it please :-)
You are definitely knitting royalty!
that must have been wonderful tell us more please...I know you're probably sick of the begging but we all want to know
I am SO jealous. What a wonderful experience!!
Wow! Although I want to say that Kaffe should have been just as honored to have met you.
That is awesome! I bet he got a kick out of meeting his biggest fan. :-)
HOW EXCITING!
(((hugs)))
Know that's mixing with a real celebrity!
Now that's an awesome experience!
It's too bad you can't go to the event on Thursday! I'll try to take pictures to show you :)
so awesome! i love it.
(is it crazy that my knitting guru is deb stoller? she taught me to knit :))
ahem...I have to contest the 'greatest fan' title... :)
How cool that must have been for you!!!!!!! I'm going to see him at the end of November and I've been dithering about whether or not to bring my coat (also from Glorious Knitting)..... I'm almost convinced by your pics and story. (now just have to convince my friend who will have to wear it - as it needs a tallllll frame!)
Hila that is perfect! I have been waiting for an opportunity to meet the man, the genius myself - I guess I need to make a sweater and make the gloves and make it happen. Love it!
I am speechless, the sweater is gorgeous and he must have been thrilled. You did so much better than me, I had my book signed by him at the Festival of Quilts this year and all I could do was smile and not manage to utter one word! He rather takes my breath away....
I met him in 1992 at Port Sunlight here in the UK and he was great. I too was wearing one of ghis knits and I have his signature of an address book of his. I hev met some folks who say he is surly but I didn't find him so at all
totally cool!!!!
yep, priceless.
How awesome! And you sweater must have given the man a thrill as well!
