One of the reasons I love working at a book publishing company is because I can do all sorts of random things.  Today, for instance, there was a softy workshop.  You see, Penguin is publishing this 
adorable book called 
Sock and Glove.  So, I know this is a knitting blog, but the book's not about knitting gloves and socks.  It's about making adorableness from pre-made socks and gloves!  From 12:30 to 2pm a bunch of us crafty people gathered in a conference room on the 9th floor and just sewed and stuffed and tied and oohed and aahed and "hello my new friend"ed!  I came home with a new friend:

Saturday is so named because I accidentally sewed his head on crooked and his arms are pointing so that he looks like he's dancing a la John Trovolta in Saturday Night Live.  This thing was 
extremely easy to put together!!
Also, look, Saturday Knits....LIVE!

Very cute! I wish I could make softies at work instead of training my "team members" every afternoon...
Too cute!
Your bunny is cute! I missed BEA this year b/c I was on vacation. I usually hate book fairs. But you went looking in a whole different way, for knitting stuff -- good plan!
