Beautiful Pittsburgh. It is hard to imagine what Pittsburgh was like 50 years ago with the steel mills belching pollution into the air. It is so different now. When I visited last weekend, Pittsburgh looked to me like a mini-city (compared to Baltimore) nestled in among the mountains with quaint Victorian homes and cute little shops.

I found the Three Rivers Knitting guild to be especially warm and loving. I taught the Gansey class over the weekend and here are the participants, proudly showing their progress. (Hmm, someone seems to be finished knitting their sampler in that picture–no wait! That’s MY little gansey!)
