The byob market bag is coming along very quickly…but when it came to the handle, I got the first one finished and held up the bag and it’s way out of place.  I don’t know how I didn’t notice it, but now it all has to come out.  I need to take a little break from it so I won’t start screaming.  I was so happy when I put in all the markers and there were the right number of stitches (always a nice feeling!) but I must have started from the wrong one.

It’s a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be but that’s nice when you consider it’s supposed to hold groceries.  I like the handles and I like the method the designer uses to attach them..it’s all short rows.

I’m, already considering what colors to do next.  My only complaint with the yarn is that every skein has had knots.  Some of them have fallen in good places, but some will be a pain to weave in.

Yesterday we had 2 events to attend…the chili feed fundraiser for the youth mission trip.  Son-in-law did a great job making the chili and everyone seemed to enjoy it.

Then we had a graduation party to attend.  We knew the kiddo before he was born so it was fun to see all his accomplishments…he’s a great kid from a great family.

Today I had an early birthday party.  A friend takes another friend and I to lunch every year for our birthdays, which are 5 days apart.  I think my birthday is still about a week and a half away but Mondays are the only day we could do it and next week I have therapy for little imp.

We went to an Italian restaurant that started serving lunches today.  It was really good!  I had a chicken salad with raspberry vinegarette, my favorite.  The garlic bread with it was one of the best I’ve ever had, super garlicky.  We also had strawberry, key lime, and raspberry tortes.  Yum!

Our waitress was a young girl I’ve known for a long time and she was great.  I think they got a lot of their first-day bugs worked out on us.

We got really fun gifts.

It was really hard to photograph it, but it’s a little stand with a cute plate on it. She thought cookies would be cute on it..but the waitress brought out a torte and put it on it and that was really cool.  The plate is easily lifted off for serving.  I thought it would look really, really cool with little yarn cakes stacked on it…they laughed when I said it.

I have work to do tonight, I wish I’d been doing it instead of the handles on my bag…maybe I wouldn’t have made the mistake.
