It's My Birthday

Happy birthday to me! Today is the day, 42 years ago, that I was born. As you can imagine, a lot has happened since then. I went to school, turned 23, married, had one child, grew up, finished school, had another child, went back to school, started working, finally grew up, got divorced, fell in love again, remarried, started my business, and so on and so forth. Many different things have happened, but there have been several constants in my life. My family's love, knitting, the great outdoors, chocolate, laughter, chick-flick movies, curly hair, music. I am blessed.

Tonight I will go out to eat with my husband. I am looking forward to eating sushi and cake although not necessarily in that order. I will knit more of the socks for my sock exchange pal. The color is wonderful (Victoria) and the yarn is from Cider Moon (check out their website: www.cidermoon.com).

I went to a shaping class last night at Lakeside Fibers. I finally learned how to do short rows, double decreases (miter stuff), ssk that is not lopsided, and invisible increases. For the last umpteen jillion years, I have been grinding down deeper into my trench and not really learning new skills. I am finally taking the plunge and trying new things. Lace, socks, new techniques. The sky is the limit. Have a wonderful day. P.
