This Saturday was World Wide Knit in Public Day. The Berkley Knitters made a good show of it and we headed out to a local park to enjoy the sunshine (although we all forgot sunscreen and ended up a bit pink).
There was a great spread with chocolate chip cookies, couscous salad, brie, baguette, tomatoes, cherries, [...]
Well, I had started the front of the Sidelines Top, now I have re-started it. Last night at knit-night it became clear that the height to my gauge had gotten to big so I was past the point I needed to start decreaseing and I realized I had miss worked the M1s so I had [...]
I finally got some of the photos off the of camera! Here are some of the things I have been working on:

We now have the first BLACK President of the United States, it has been a long time coming. I will admit, I was hoping for Hilary in the primaries, mostly, I will admit [...]
Just a quick peek at the progress on the Sideline Top. As you can see the cats are trying to contribute towards the fiber content. I am almost through the increase rows for the back and hope to get the shapeing for the princess lines done this weekend. If I get going great gonzos I [...]
Well so far so good on the Sidelines Top. I am through the decrese rows on the back, in about another inch I will be into the increase rows. This sweater feels like it is going really fast, we will see if it stays that way with the front where I have to do the [...]
