For my birthday, I got to…..

and, there’s not as much yarn left over as I thought there would be. I must have knit more length into the palm this time. I’m hoping I have enough yarn, because heaven help me, I don’t want to rip it again. However, if I need to, it’ll only be to the thumb stitches, not all the way to the start of the gusset again.

This glove feels so good on! I’m always sad when I have to take it back off. I’m really, really liking it.

Nate took me to Salty’s for dinner Saturday night. We had a table right on the glass, with a perfect view of Seattle. I had Copper River Salmon for the first time. It was very good.

Earlier that day, I went to my two favorite LYSs to see what they were doing for the Local Yarn Shop Tour. At Village, they had a bunch of Fleece Artist Kid Silk 2 ply

It will be a sweater of some sort. Then at Weaving Works, I bought 4 more skeins of Koigu,

adding to the available choices for whoever wins the drawing for Mitts for Mary.

That’s right, you get to choose from my stash, 2 skeins, same color, any of my Koigu. Even the new stuff.

See anything you like? Knit some mitts! At this point, your chances are probably 1 in 2 that you’ll win something.

I KNOW there was something I really wanted to talk about today, but I’ve stalled as long as I can, and I can’t for the life of me remember what it was. So, maybe tomorrow.

I’m 32 now! That’s so weird.
