Who knew knitting in public was such a big deal? On Worldwide Knit In Public Day, everyone is encouraged to go out into the world and knit. Knit openly and freely. Scoff at the granny-callers, threaten the obnoxious with your needles, tell them that no you won’t knit a sweater for them but you might make them a scarf of some mittens sometime if they ask nicely.

The Albuquerque branch is being cohosted by Scout and Erin and will be taking place at the Flying Star on Rio Grande (the usual meeting place for the SNB) this Saturday from 9 to 11 am. I’m hoping to catch a ride to it since Mr. Man has to work Saturday night.

Whether or not I get to go I made a few buttons for the event. Yes I made that image myself as the founder requested. Feel free to take them.

I will also be walking with Ramona, Laurie, and Carole in the Susan G Komen event this Sunday. I’m hoping I can make the whole walk but I’m not kidding myself. Let’s hope we won’t be hitting 101 degrees like we did yesterday!

Only one day left in Cody’s vacation but we’re doing a lot of organizing and stuff. We’ve lived in this house since October 1998 and both tend to be slobby pack rats. So you can imagine how things build up. I’m also hell bent on fixing up the back bedroom into a proper studio craft room. I’m getting a lot of inspiration from this Flickr Group. But for right now we’re working on our closets and fixing up our shared bathroom a little. I have two big garbage bags of clothes for The Arc and will probably have at least one more by the time they come to pick up stuff next week.
