Up. up and away

Thanks to the groovy features of Typepad, as this entry posts I'm winging my way to that most metropolitan of American cities, the Big Apple, New York. I've got theatre tickets, dinner reservations and dates with old friends. But perhaps the most exciting agenda items are my planned encounters with fellow knitbloggers Elisabeth, Em, Kay and Mindy. As the wee one would say, I'm so excited!

I'm toting the Must-Have sleeve because the poncho is way too cumbersome for knitting anyplace but my bed, and the fourth square for the baby blanket I began ages ago when it had no intended recipient. Now that babe is due on Caroline's birthday, and we're due at a shower in its honor a month from tomorrow. These should keep me plenty occupied, but I've no doubt a few skeins will find their way into my possession and may even be swatched, given that the City boasts a fair share of fiber emporia. On my last visit, two years ago, I was all about fabric, but this time, honies, I'm heading for yarn!

Have a BLAST! I am heading up to NY come May, and I can't wait; my sister and I are going to look up blogging buddies too! I hope you have a great time.

Little does Bethy (above) know that we're looking YOU up. Sometimes she doesn't put the "blogging buddies" names together with sites..... 'Tis the season to meet new (old) friends. Have a great time! and send my hugs.....

Have so much fun Maggi! Will you be handing off your Mason-Dixon square?
Can't wait to hear all about it!

Hi, I didn't know you were off to NYC. I am so excited for you! Timmy is here with me this weekend as there is a Duke Celebration for the end of the $2.3B Duke campaign. Started with a great b-ball game last night and now lots of parties the rest of the weekend. This prompted me to stop by Maribeth's store seeking some festive attire earlier this week. Lots of great buys and really gorgeous things in So. of 7th! Miss you, call me. Squeeze to Miss C. sah
