Law week, I had the chance to meet Emily and Andy from Assemble shop & studio at one of our monthly Seattle blogger meet-ups held in the Trophy Cupcakes party room in Wallingford {organized by the always lovely Lyndsey}!
Not only does Assemble sell beautiful and unique handmade products from many different artists {like this pillow that I’m obsessed with}, but they assemble {no pun intended} their very own craft kits. On this particular night, we were learning how to crochet some sweet granny squares.
While the idea of crocheting seems magical to me…and I LOVE the look, I had a hard time catching on to the concept. I may have needed a really basic beginner course, or I should have watched this video 10 times before going. I don’t think I progressed further than “step 1” but it was fun to watch others get their craft on and actually make something that looked really really pretty!
Yarn aside, it was a great night because I FINALLY got to meet Andrea! We’ve been blog buddies for over a year but between all the different meet-ups and events, never got a chance to actually say hi in person! She’s also an accomplished graphic designer…seeee!
Of course, there were so many other lovely friends: Dawn, Brianne, Melanie and a few new faces: Adina, Lisette, Dawn, Jenn {who I met briefly at Alt Summit too!}, and Teresa.
