Gosh, here it is, closing in on the end of August with just about all the birthday and anniversary celebrations behind us. We had a short visit with friends from Colorado and then celebrated our REAL anniversary locally because we couldn't find a cat sitter. No matter. Our kids arranged for some chocolate dipped strawberries and 2 glasses of champagne to be delivered to our door. How nice of them! We had a great time reminiscing about our life together over the past fifty years. It's gone by so fast! We started out as two, and now there are twelve of us. Amazing! And we all get along! All I can say is, "Wow!" Because we had planned to be away at a place without many restaurant choices, Dick had arranged for dinner at the Space Needle the week before. It was a cloudy day, but we still had great views of our city. (The restaurant revolves while you eat, so it's rather like watching an ever-changing movie.) Fun place for special occasions!
Meanwhile, there's been some knitting happening. I finally finished Kiribati which I started last summer and put away when it got cold. (Thanks, Mere for the pattern link!) Now I have to figure out what to wear it with!
It has interesting details on the side seam:
I also made a washcloth thanks to Dee's inspiration: (Isn't her new kitty cute?)
And a replacement sample for my volunteering. The earlier one disappeared!
It's taken me two other tries to find yarn for the Undine KAL. I finally dove into my stash of leftovers and will be holding my breath until it's done. I also decided to make the socks as written. We'll see whether I like them this way or not.
Enjoy the weekend. We are supposed to have rain.......finally. I hope it helps with the wildfires! Be sure to check out Patchwork Times for some knitting inspiration!
