Yarn, glorious Yarn. Friends, Glorious Friends!! I just don't know which is better. :o) Yeah...the friends. The knitters from the ManchVegas "Knitting Practice" group totally gifted me for my Birthday!! Let's just say .... lots of sock yarn, awesome patterns, and great friends. That's what I got for my birthday from these knitters. Thank you, Ericka, Chris, Sarah, Laurin, Denise, Melissa, Amanda, Mike, Gina, Jackie, Gaye, Marion & Caroline. Did I miss anyone? If I did, I thank you too. (I'm going by memory of who was around the table and signed the card.) [editted to add:}OMG KICK ME!!! AND HEATHER!!!!!!! Some of her hand dyed yarn, insence, highlighters (Nathan loved those!), coasters and other goodies!!! Thank you HEATHER, too!

I am not afraid to admit that I am 18 for the eighteenth time. Yeah, you figure it out...it took two teachers to help me figure it out after one sip of a Makers and Coke. I never was good at math.

I also received a surprise gift I was NOT expecting. This came from Sonya!! She made me a beautiful Stole from the Radiance Lace Headband pattern that Gina designed (hop on over to her blog and buy yourself a pattern!!). It was a HIT by everyone. I think everyone took a turn wearing it (dang but it was cold at Dave's)First on the hit list is Ericka, modeling the left shoulder of the stole.Next we have Jackie. She wore it for a while...so coooooold in Dave's.

And the designer, herself, tried it on and modeled it. We all love it Sonya...great job!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME.
