The springing of spring.

I can't believe I'm missing the whole Yarn Harlot represent weekend! And I'm arriving in NYC just a few days later. I might have to go on a belated yarn crawl by myself. Unless....pony? yarn? crawling? or maybe just a few hours at purl soho?

More than yarn, I want to buy springtime fabric for a skirt. I'm imagining a 50's style skirt: layers of full, gathered fabric finished with a top layer that isn't gathered itself, creating a casual hoopskirt effect. With little patch pockets and an inch-wide tape waistline that ties on the side. In good spring and summer fabric. Something like this. or this. or maybe this.

I'll be in New York with Mr. Darling this sunday through thursday, and then in Oakland thursday through next sunday. Do you want to have coffee with me? (Yes, I mean you.)

Coffee might be nice. I have just discovered a bakery which makes a fine Parisian-style au lait, plus they'll serve you half a baguette for breakfast. E-mail me, because I think I lost your address.

Ack--so sorry! I couldn't find your email *and* we ran out of time. I'm in New York kind of frequently these days. It would be fun if we could make it happen another time.
