Hurray for blog tours! I’ve done the actually-leaving-the-house kind and they are difficult. When Kim Werker and I went on the road to promote Knitgrrl and Get Hooked in 2006 (photos here) it was fun but also super-exhausting. I got really sick in Boston and ended up miserable in the rain in NYC…by the time we got to DC, it’s a wonder I was still standing. But there were many good things, too. Kim started spinning. When we went to Canada, I finally got to experience what ‘bacon’ means to Canadians. (And much more).
So, don’t miss out on Thursday and Friday — we’ve got my giveaway (there’s still time to enter!) and then Amy stopping by. Lots of excitement!
