Over the weekend, my friend Karen and I had our “Movie Night”. We are making a new tradition. Since I don’t really have a life (except when I am away teaching), this is my big night out about every 3 weeks. The first time we did this, we ordered pizza delivery and watched Patsy Zowakowski’s video on spinning cotton and flax. This week Karen got Thai food, and I brought decadent chocolate dessert. The point of this is actually NOT the eating part, but to get together, have fun, and actually look at those DVDs and videos we bought oh so long ago. You know, to learn something! We were going to watch Mabel Ross’ video on spinning, but as my brain was fried from reading (and finishing) Harry Potter almost non-stop, we watched some sillly movie on her Tivo. Hmm, didn’t learn much, but had a good time. This is what I am working on right now:
It’s weird (but fun) to be knitting my own Fana sock pattern again after all these years! I am using Louet’s Gems Merino. SO yummy and very nice to work with!
I think it is a good thing to schedule fun. If I don’t I just stay home and work.
Many of us work too hard ALL the time. Knitting is great, and even better in company! The next time we have movie night, I think we’ll watch one of my 6 Lucy Neatby DVDs. She is so fun and upbeat, and I always learn something from her. I do recommend her series. Do any of you out there have movie/ knitting night with friends?
And, I won’t whine too much about this, but my soon-to-be-ex could never quite let himself spend money on flowers for me. I don’t mean a single flower…I mean a good ol’ fashioned dozen. I love roses so much that for awhile there I bought them for myself. Well, what a surprise! This lovely bunch was given to me by my daughter, Chelsea. How I cherish them! And her!
