another do-over

I’ve said it before and I’ll always believe it: I’m not afraid to take something out and do it over. But really? I’m kind of tired of always having to do so.

self-absorbed

I’ve been incredibly self-absorbed lately, and I haven’t had much content for blogging. I’m busy with various other things, and though I am knitting, well, nothing is exciting to look at or interesting to talk about. No Eye Candy this week; I barely took any photos all week and exploring my old photos just didn’t excite me.

But I do have a nice story to tell, from our weekend adventures.

what a weekend!

This weekend marked a first for me. My first venture into real-life interaction with knit bloggers!

I was heading to Columbia for a short visit with my parents, for no particular reason at all and thus no timetable. So I emailed Lolly and suggested we meet for some knitting. She opened the get-together up to her knitting group, and happily several people were able to join!

welcome to the world, linnea!

A dear friend from college, for whom I was a bridesmaid, just had her first baby yesterday! I knit the (secret from the blog) purple sweater for her, but I am still at work on the pattern and haven’t mailed it off yet. (It wouldn’t fit her yet anyway.) I couldn’t resist posting the photo that was sent around, however, of Linnea in her adorable knit hat–what a fabulous pattern. I didn’t knit it, and I don’t know who did, but is this not the cutest thing!?
