Eat.Knit.Sleep

I am at work right now, so no photos. Unfortunately, I don't know if there will be photos from home in the immediate future because our hard drive crashed last night. Bleh.

Yesterday was C's birthday. He decided he (!) was going to cook his own birthday dinner and bake (!!) his own birthday cake. He maid Pancetta wrapped Pork Roast and herbed cheesy polenta. And for dessert he made Triple layered dark-chocolate cake with orange buttercream frosting. Oh my god, my boy can cook!

I was feeling very guilty because I came home from work to a fresh poured glass of wine and he told me to sit and knit. Who's birthday was this???  And to top it off,  a wonderful present from my Secret Pal (and the Rowan 31 magazine I bought off ebay). I know have a pamphlet full of sock patterns, some Brown Sheep handpainted Wildfoote (in a beautiful colourway), some note cards and pads. I'll take a picture and attempt to post it. THANK YOU SECRET PAL!

I bought Rowan 31 to try to find a pattern to make with my 2 skeins of Kid Silk Haz I had bought to knit Grace from knitty. In the time since I made that decision, I decided that I didn't think I would wear that much. Stupid Jenny.

Anyhoo -- lots been going on here. We may have a 16 year old boy come move in with us.  I'll get into that more if it happens, we should know this weekend.  (No-- C didn't have a secret love child when he was 12, but that would be exciting).  I have a meeting now so must be going. Why can't I knit in meetings?
