This was my THIRD CSM EVENT and second SPOKANE EVENT with Kathy Howland organizing. This was my first event where my wonderful boyfriend accompanied me (but did not participate in using a CSM). Wyatt went out of his way to help Kathy as needed - what a superhero!

My Universal Bonnets were handed to those who came to my setup at this event. See the BLOG POST | My schedule event info.

2018 Sept 20 - CSM Event Spokane, WA

THIS IS MY VERY FIRST CSM EVENT EVER!

The event: “Kathy Howland's Spokane, WA Crank-In” Sep 20-23, 2018
The demonstrator at this event was Steve Ashton.

The event was AMAZING and only a possibility to me thanks to having had transport to and from the event (we didn’t have our own car at the time).

Indeed thanks to Steve Ashton’s generosity and open-mindedness, he changed his plans to include a night-before stop over (Wed Sep 19th) with use of our sofa bed for a very early morning commute start Sep 20th.

Steve came to town Wed Sep 19 to run some errands and then met up with my boyfriend and I after work that same day. We walked over to White Spot (a nearby restaurant) and then returned home to determine what I should bring. After much decision (ITS SO HARD TO PACK FOR YOUR FIRST EVENT - how much yarn is really enough after all?) finally compiled what I should bring (with Steve’s recommendations) and we packed his vehicle.

What to consider to bring to an event.

It was very very early Thursday Sept 20 (maybe 4am) that we set out for the 7 hour drive to Spokane.

At this awesome event among the many things I grew starry eyed over, I became introduced to my own ribber and learned not to fear it as I did. Steve also demonstrated another way to close the toes (kitchener) from the purl side of cuff down socks.

I will ever be appreciative for this very first event and thankful to Kathy Howland and Steve Ashton for making this happen for me.
