This weekend I went to New Hampshire for a crochet conference with my mom and my friend Vashti. It took exactly 3 hours and 13 mins. We took my dads car because it is more reliable than my moms old van. The drive felt like it took us forever. When we got to the Radisson Hotel Vashti was in a class so my mom and I looked around for some yarn until she got out of her class around 12:00. Then we had lunch together. I had a bowl of clam chowder and a giant chocolate cookie. Sounds mouth watering, doesn't it? After that, we met a girl named Katie that is ten just like me. She was knitting at the knitting corner. She is a very good knitter. I know how to knit, I just like crocheting better. I think it is more fun and faster. and if you make a mistake it is easier to undo it and do the stitch over. Katie is turning 11 in August. I am going to send her a birthday card and present soon. Her and I talked together for a while and it turned out that we both loved horses and we both took horseback riding lessons. I thought that was serendipities.
Then we went up into the hotel room and Vashti showed us some of the magnificent thing she crocheted. ( She is an extraordinary crochet designer.)Then Vashti had to go to a class that she didn't really want to go to, but she had to because she was already signed up. So she went to her class while we went to look at the free form crochet booth and then we got some yarn and went outside to crochet while we waited for Vashti to call us. When she called us we went up to the room we went to dinner and the fashion show. Vashti was in the fashion show and she did great!! She made these leg warmers connected to a belt thing and guess what, she got the biggest applause!! I think she was the greatest one out of all the participants. Then we went to get a drink and talked to the other people in the fashion show and also try on each other's clothes. Then we went to the hotel room and went to bed. To be continued. . . . . . . . .
