Vancouver Olympics Knitter Meetup
Over on the Vancouver 2010 Olympic group, we started planning a meetup for Vancouver area knitters , or people who are in town for the Olympics… and as the details fell into place, the numbers grew, and we ended up having a wonderful group! About 25 knitters came out to brunch on Saturday morning at The Whip restaurant in downtown Vancouver. We had a whole loft area to ourselves and we had a great time – knitting, chatting, feeling each others’ yarns, and eating some yummy breakfast food too!
It was a particular joy to meet some new and old friends alike, some of whom I have known on the internet since the early days of knitblogging – this was the case with Mandy “Yarnageddon” and Felicia “Sweet Georgia”!
After our meetup, there was a general invitation from Felicia to come to tour her studio, Sweet Georgia. What a treat! Her studio is beautiful and so is her yarn… I came away with some amazing goodies 
After the studio, we walked around downtown and enjoyed the unseasonably warm and sunny weather. Winter Olympics has a whole new meaning with this weather!

Photos of the procured yarns when I get back home… but in the meantime, stay tuned for some more Olympics photos!
That meetup must have been lots of fun, and getting to tour Felicia’s studio afterwards sounds awesome!
I *love* the last two pics you’ve posted – they’re simply gorgeous.
looks like a fantastic meet-up….enjoy the rest of the olympics and I will wait patiently for pictures
AWE-some!!!
I wasn’t able to go to the meet-up (I was up on Cypress!), but I did buy some Sweet Georgia at Three Bags Full!
We had a wonderful time in Vancouver, hope you did too.
