Knitting at the Lake

Only 2 more days till Knitting at the Lake in Clarksville, Virginia. 50 knitters, yarn, one hotel, knitting needles, one big conference room, yarn, snacks, beverages, yarn, patterns, vendors, yarn - sounds like the making of a great weekend! I am planning on dining here one evening and keeping it simple the rest of the time.

Crash, Court and Continuation

The driver who hit us (and ran away) on Thanksgiving went to court on Friday morning. He was found guilty of dui, driving w/out a license and something else like that. The felony hit and run charge was removed to circuit court. He has appealed the 3 charges he was found guilty of so all 4 matters will be heard together in circuit court at a later date (March or April I have been told). Chris continues to not be able to hear from left ear and experiences buzzing and numbness - he goes back for to the doctor this week. T. and I continue to be pretty good - no ill after-effects from the accident.

On the knitting front, I have several FO's but need to photograph all of them. One of which is pictured here. It was made with some lovely Silky Wool and has a nice drape.

Friday, I go out of town for KATL (that would be Knitting at the Lake) '09! Woo hoo - girls, yarn, food, friendship, visiting ... what more can one knitting geek ask?!?

And, what you ask, is the significance of the below photo? That, friends, is the most excellent package received from Sarah R. my AACS upstream partner! The coffee was named 'cowboy' and was stong and delicious. There are two different kinds of yarn, and 3 different types of goodies to eat, as well as a cool ceramic coffee mug with built in heat deflector (see, I am a geek)! Can you feel my smile?
