We commonly refer to this as the Pajama party. That means we don't get dressed and stay in our PJ's all weekend. We spend Friday Saturday and Sunday just spinning, knitting and visiting. These great friends brought along all the food and really took care of me. We had lots of show and tell which I forgot to take pictures of....sorry. My friend Cj showed up on saturday too. Shirley was talking about Firefly and that ended up with us having a Firefly Marathon. That is 14 episodes plus the movie Serenity By the end of it we all had enough Tv for quite some time. It was tiring but still fun. We all knit or spun throughout the entire marathon.

Foot Update

Well I had a Dr. appointment for 3:30 today and the turkey cancelled it on me. Now I have to wait until Friday. It was not the news I needed to hear today.


I planned on participating in the Mara Knit along. This is the sweater on the cover of Fair Isle Knitting by Alice Starmore. I started it years ago but got bogged down in a complicated pattern I thought it would be great to knit it along with others and anyways I have a head start on it. This is supposed to start at the end of the month. I collected all the yarns, found the pattern and needles. I need to make a couple copies of the patterns graph and I'll be all set. Here is a pic from the book

Knitting Olympics

Well I think I have failed as an Olympian. If you take the tact that it is a challenge that I am overcoming then I am doing great. If you take the tact that unless you finish on the 26th you have failed then I will have failed. I just can not do lace fast....I end up taking apart too many rows to make such success. I have learned a lot and my goal now is to finish the inner triangle of the shawl by the end of the Olympics and then continue on with it and finish after the Olympics are over.
