It's my birthday! I have a feeling it's going to be a good year. My horoscope says so, so I believe it! :-)
I had a great weekend. I took the train to Ann Arbor to visit a friend and go to a Michigan football game. Seven hours on the train - lots of great knitting time. I finished a sock and got a lot of work done on my Earth and Sky Shawl. (need to take pictures, what else is new?) I've been knitting a lot of shawls and scarf-like objects lately, but I'm getting ready to swatch Sabbatical by Connie Chang Chinio. I started the swatch this weekend, but lace worked on both sides and a bumpy train ride are not a good combination. Had to rip after a few rows and save it for quiet time - that means Knit Night tonight is probably not good swatching opportunity! Knit Night on my birthday - how awesome is that?
I will leave you with an adorable video of "Cast On, Baby" by a group at a LYS in New Jersey. The diversity of the shop's clientele is amazing - people of all ages and races enjoying the fiber arts. They look like a great group - I'd love to hang out with them! I wish we had a LYS like that here...
