Miss Mary Scott Huff arrived mid-day Friday during a ferocious blizzard.

The shop and class attendees appreciated the blizzard-like activities Mary brought our way with her energy and wit. She had an uncanny ability to make everyone a bit wacky all weekend.

She also made us hug and stretch and ENJOY our knitting!

And now we stretch. Oh, that feels so good!

And we hug some more…

A more dedicated group of Mad Hatters and Selbuvotters would be hard to find, even in the outer Selbu region of Norway.
We designed and knit.

We laughed and knit and worked really hard.

There was always time for a smile, especially from new friends.

We stomped our feet (some to keep from freezing during the storm) but none of that phased our new best friend from Portland, Miss Mary Scott Huff. In fact, she was game to put on my hundred year old boots so as not to get lost in the drifts. And the best part, she liked the snow and all the Wild Purls knitters and WE LOVED HER!

If you missed the festivities, don’t worry, we can’t live without her and we will invite her back soon. And now that we can design, we may never look at a snowflake quite the same. They really are beautiful, even when we have to go shovel our way to the mailbox.
