Turn the Page’s signing this past weekend was nearly as epic as the July signing.  So many people and such happy faces.  Here are some photos from Saturday and Nora shares how she spent her Sunday.  Laura

Signing Saturday at Turn The Page with a terrific group of authors brought in four hundred people. Many thanks to those authors, to TTP’s amazing staff–and our signing volunteers–and to all the readers who hung in there for nearly six hours. That’s a loooooong day for all.

Wrapping my wrist prior to the signing meant no pain and all gain! It really made a difference. I’m going to keep my wrap handy for next month’s Holiday In Boonsboro, and the signing at TTP. Can’t wait to see the town all decked out for the holidays.

Still, wow, six hours. I decided to unwind on Sunday and make my beef stew–sort of my version of a poor man’s beef bourguignon–with dumplings. I’d planned to bake a couple rounds of sour dough bread, but discovered I was out of yeast. Don’t know how that happened, but expect my oldest granddaughter to be around in the coming week, and she loves bread. So I did a quick beer bread instead.

Stew and bread baking turned out to be just the thing for a chilly November Sunday. And today, it’s back to work–and leftovers. That’s a pretty perfect Monday for me.

Laura again:  I posted a photo of a shawl I knitted up late in the summer and wrote how I loved the colorway.  Then I received my copy of Blood Magick and all was explained.  A lot of knitters asked after the yarn, color and pattern.  It’s Malabrigio Rios in colorway 855 Aguas.  The pattern is the Groovy Shawl  (the link is to the Ravelry pattern — I went up a weight and only knit 10 repeats).
