FROG!!
and reknit!
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.

Happy Birthday!!
I keep wanting to knit a pair for you and then I regain my grip on sanity and realize that 12 days from the wedding is not the time to cast on a new project. I’m admiring your work so far though, the yarn is gorgeous and the pattern’s perfect for it.

Happy Birthday Happy Birthday! My Abby is singing happy birthday as I type. No, I’m afraid to say that she didn’t know it was your birthday, I guess she figures it’s somebody’s birthday somewhere. She sings it all the time! But, how appropriate. Hope it was wonderful!
