Arctic Lace Book Launch

One last thought for the day

I love Alaska. Everything and everyone here has an interesting story. It's just amazing to be around the people who live in Anchorage and across the state, and listen to their stories. It's even more fun when the people I'm with are knitters, crocheters, and other types of fiber artists. All of the people are as friendly as I remembered from my last trip.

I don't want to move here, because I'm pretty sure I would suffer from severe depression in the dark winter, but I do want to come back regularly. I hope I get invited to Yarn Expo again, and I also want to come in berry picking season, rent a place with a kitchen, and make jars and jars of wild-berry jam. When I mentioned this idea at dinner yesterday, Susan, one of the students in my class (both classes, actually!), said that she'd be happy to take me out and show me some good areas for berry picking. What a generous place and people!
