Life is Sweet

Last Pitch for Sweet Stitch

A really nice article appeared in the Kitsap Sun last Sunday that talks about the knitting meet-ups that have formed in the Kitsap County area, and about Sweet Stitch. The women who formed the knitting meet-ups were customers at the shop. Though I know there was some misquoting in the story, I still thought it was a nice tribute. Thanks

Visitors!

We recently had three visitors from the great state of Illinois. Last time we had seen Kreg and Amanda, they were still shorter than me. I taught then 9-year old Amanda to knit. It was summer and everyone was tan and cooking in the Chicago heat.

Fast forward to two weeks ago (back to the future? I’m confused). Both Kreg and Amanda are now taller than me. It’s summer again, but they are not as brown as I expected. But they are still as active as ever. Within ten minutes of being at our house, Amanda fell while skateboarding and broke her collar bone. Kreg is taller than Rob. Very strange. They are officially teenagers, and boy howdy, what a flashback. I’m sorry, Mom and Dad, for everything I put you through!

Despite the early injury, it was a very fun time. There was kayaking, hiking, a trip to the beach (Abby’s favorite part of the week!), shopping, lots and lots of seafood eaten, visiting, late-nights of Scene-it games, wine consumed (over 21 only, of course), basketball in bare feet, sleeping with the spiders, constant MySpace updates, and an unprecedented South Park marathon.

No wonder I’m so tired!
