The Knit Out in Guthrie Ok. was an incredible trip and I am way way tardy in posting about it. 

 My Knit Out experience began with a trip to the OKC airport where I picked up Wendy.  How lucky can one woman be?  I have been very fortunate to be able to say that Wendy has become a dear friend and so getting to spend yet another weekend in her company was incredible.   We (my lil' sis, my dd, Wendy and myself) immediately heading downtown to the Bricktown area of OKC.  I tried to think of some place to eat that Wendy couldn't really get anywhere else, so to Toby Keiths I Love this Bar and Grill we went.  Not sure but I think a good time was had by all.  We also were joined by my buddy and dear friend Courtney. If you follow Wendy's blog you have heard of LB, well I have chosen Courtney as my LB, since Wendy won't share I figured I better find my own.  Seriously, Courtney is an amazing woman and I absolutley love being in her company, she is so much fun.

Our next stop was the OKC National Memorial. I really could go on and on about this but if I did I would just sit here and cry.  It is a heart wrenching site and there are not words to describe how this Memorial touched me.  I had not been to the bombing site since that day and it had a profound effect on me.

We then made our way up to Guthrie and SWAK, once there we met up with several wonderful knitters all getting ready for our big weekend of knitting fun.  People drove and flew in from all over the place from Canada to Texas. 

The weekend was filled with wonderful people and lots of great classes.  My first class was with Mags Kandis, I really got a lot of color inspiration from her.  Then on to a class with Joan Schroader, talk about a talented knitter.  I truely think she knows everything that there is to know about knitting. 

OK I say all that to lead up to this great little story.  I have a little sister that from here on out will be called theif...no she will be called BFF of Wendy.  My sister who lives in Guthrie invited Wendy over for the evening after all the knitting fun was over.  I think that Wendy is some sort of a witch because she has placed a spell on theif, OH I mean BFF of Wendy.  I have been trying for years to get my sister to knit with absolutely no success but one night with Wendy and she is addicted.

Now since Wendy got her started I think she has finished 2 projects.  Honestly I am so proud of my baby sis, she jumped right in and is trying to learn all she can.  Lucky for her she lives within miles of one of Oklahomas best yarn stores.   Before the weekend was over I had gotten to spend some time with family and friends and even get in some knitting what could be better then that.
