Friendships

 You were so kind about my shawl.  I guess we've all been there. 

That's what to love about a knit blog. 

(Not to mention your recipes, your intimate life shares and your inspirational charity knits and our checking in with one another throughout the week) 

So yesterday I was in my LYS and Adrienne had knit this Lena Shawl in Cascade Echo Cloud. 

No, no, not for me. 

I just thought you'd like to see it if you are up for something new. 

It uses 9 skeins of yarn and the pattern is in Pam Allen's Home book.

Adrienne can't decide if it is a blanket or a shawl, but she loves it. 

She says you start at the little lace part on the bottom of the shawl and decrease as you go.  

Tank can be so adorable with those baby blues. 

Last thing this fine Saturday:

We were out to dinner with dear old friends we know from way back: we worked at McDonalds together in high school.

Good things happen for us under the Golden arches...but 

they were saying they were going to Multnomah Falls this summer.

I piped up with  "Oh my friend volunteers there!"

Fireman laughed and explained how I "KNOW" Teresa. 

My friends thought it was the coolest thing.

It is. 

Teresa, they are coming to see you this summer. 

And you are my friend , so there.
