Early Tuesday morning I’m heading from warm, sunny Florida to the frigid winter cold of the Midwest. What is it that prompts me to leave this golden sunshine, you ask?  I can answer that in a single word:  yarn.  I’ll be participating in the Warm Up America! Knit-Out, located at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, February 16 and 17.  It doesn’t hurt any that the biggest sale of the winter will be happening at the mall, too, but it’s the opportunity to meet my wonderful readers, schmooze with other knitters, and visit with my precious Aunt Betty, that makes the trip worth every moment.
