Wonderful Knitting Friends!

I just got back from a delightful evening at the shop with the greatest group of knitters--and friends. This morning I graduated and instead of having a real graduation part I figured I'd just celebrate at the monthly charity knit night at the shop. My mom fixed an ice-cream cake, but thats all I expected. But then people started showing up-- with food and gifts! We ended up with cake, champagne, strawberries, fresh home-baked cookies and yummy turkey wraps. Jo gave me a beautiful leather bound photo album for pictures of Painted Sheep stuff, Carol had a funny singing card and Pat gave me a beautiful journal and bottle of wine! It was totally unexpected and wonderful! Now I am full of yummy food and champagne and happy. Oh, and we got a bunch of blocks knit for a Warm Up America blanket! Thanks everyone!!

Congratulations on your graduation (and engagement and the opening of your new business)! We're all so proud of you. I'm sorry I couldn't make it to celebrate the occasion with you.
