Number Nine, Number Nine....

I have been looking for years for the pattern for "Frida", beautifully knit and modeled by Wendy Knits on her website. That pattern has been out of print for years, and nobody seemed to know where I could get a copy. Then KABOOM! after yet another of my random posts on Ravelry whining pitifully about how much I needed that pattern, a wonderful wonderful knitter found a webpage with a copy in stock. That I could order for cheap. That could arrive in about a week. Not that I'm going to cast on anytime soon, but just to have the pattern for which I have lusted so long!!! I am fulfilled.

The baby blanket chugs along. I am tired of the pattern. I want to make entrelac socks, which will be a gift for a dear friend for her birthday, an amazement in itself because I am famous for forgetting birthdays. I really would like to be on the ball this year, but I fear it may not happen.
Since I haven't begun the socks, they will likely miss her birthday, and I won't even have the chance to give her a half-finished sock in a gift box. :(

Life straggles along..............
