wow, do people really blog about knitting on the wide wide world of web?
What a fun Saturday! I went to Stitches West, the giganto knitting expo, with Rita today. We didn't go to any of the classes, just to the giant market, but it was awesome. I brought as much cash as I was willing to spend, and ended up only a little bit over. Admittedly, that was only because the booth with the gorgeous hand-dyed yarn sold out of the colorway I loved by the time I figured out what I wanted to make with it.
I bought a couple of patterns, one for Isaac and one for me, and some midnight blue Malabrigo merino for my sweater. Which I bought from...my favorite local store, the one I go to every few weeks as it is. So much for finding exciting new vendors, huh? But I like them a lot.
I used up all of my brain on the knitting show, though. I had to go into work later this afternoon to finish up a bunch of stuff for tomorrow. Dennis was working, too, so I brought Ike in to hang out with me in the office. Note that I said I brought the baby; I did not say that I brought any food for the baby. The baby who is in the middle of some kind of growth spurt wich involves many, many bottles of high-octane milk. So Dennis went back home to grab a supply for him, and on the way back he stopped off to get us coffee. Sweet, sweet mocha. So rich, so tasty...so all over my desk. And my pants. And my shirt. And my phone. Sigh. Fortunately, we have a stash of St. Ned's t-shirts in the office, so I mopped up, slipped into something less chocolaty, and got back to work. Isaac was a good sport about all of it, even when I had to set him down on his blanket for a few minutes so that I could fix the stupid copier. Anyway, the world is now safe for democracy, or at least there will be bulletins tomorrow.
