I think the sounds of New York are just as compelling as the sights. Here’s the jumble of sounds from my wait on the subway platform last night. I can’t get the plugin to work for uploading a video myself, so please click here and watch my very first YouTube upload!
When I cast on for the second Zephirine sock, I was spending a girls’ weekend discussing life and boys and the works, and I guess I was pretty distracted, because I had to restart it three times (I kept increasing wrong). Well, I got on the bus to Maryland for Thanksgiving and was merrily knitting along, and then I realized that I’d ultimately cast on more stitches than I had for the first sock!
So much for taking “better notes.” Maybe I should start taking “any notes.”
I don’t feel 29 today. Is this what happens as you get older? Birthdays stop feeling so special? I’ll still bask in the adulation of my family and friends, naturally, and get a kick out of hundreds of thousands of people all across the country (heck, world–there are expats, right?) eating my preferred birthday cake: pumpkin pie. They’ll be celebrating, and I’m going to share in it all. Hope everyone has a fabulous Thanksgving! Eat too much yummy food, watch some football, and be thankful for another year.
My old college roommate sent me my first real mail at my new apartment–a plant kit with a message printed on the seed itself! There is scant information about what kind of plant this will become, but it sprouted within two weeks or so. Here’s the various stages of its emergence into the world. It was fun to watch it sprout; I have it sitting on the window ledge behind the bed, so I see it every morning. Thanks again, hon!
