Last ones…Three more pics from the ABC Knit In this morning. (I still can’t believe Fiona and Amy convinced me to get out of bed at 6:30 a.m. on my day off.) The first is a completed blanket sewn together by one of the ladies sitting in our group. Second is me modelling Marlene’s fabulous…

Making new friendsMe and my new friend Marlene, knitting away. I’m the first blogger she’s ever met! She’s making her internet debut here.

ABC Knit-InI’m at the ABC Knit-In this morning. Hundreds of people are putting together blankets for the needy. And the Bananas in Pajamas just arrived!

I can’t decide what’s funnier: the fact that Dulux actually have a red paint colour called “Redrum,” or that an oblivious Kathleen wanted to use it on their apartment walls! (Sidenote: Andrew’s anecdote reminded me of when Milhouse picked up Bart’s telepathic message “kcip pu trab” in The Simpsons, which in turn led me to…
