I did have a great surprise last night. I checked out some blogs after I got home before bed. Kristin listed me as one of her happy items. Hot damn. Seriously the high point of my week. Before I actually started my own blog, I was amazed at how interconnected all you knit bloggers were and how everyone seemed like they knew each other. I feel like I'm (hopefully) becoming a part of this community. Thank you to all who have visited and made comments.
Tonight is wool washing night. The fiber arts guild I joined is putting on a demonstration this weekend at our local mall. I have Friday afternoon off, so I'm going to venture out into the world of public spinning. But that means I need some clean fleece to spin. The guild was my meeting last night. I felt pretty inadequate there. Not because of spinning, though. I did fairly well at that. We all went around the circle and introduced ourselves. The woman right before me was there for the first time. She had brought a serious show and tell collection. Shawls where she had spun the yarn before knitting it into gorgeous finished products. Lace. Lace that was apparently featured in some national newsletter. I don't even know what else. When it came to my turn, all I could say was "Hi. I'm Jocele. Compared to that I've got nothing. Next person please." With time, I'll get there right?
In other news, Catie now has 2 teeth. Really she did pretty good through the whole teething thing. One bad night was all we had to deal with. Granted, she has only 2 teeth in her head at this point. We still have a ways to go. But it's a start. And here she is. I wish we could get her to smile more at the camera. Even without a smile, she's adorable. Not that I'm prejudiced, though.

She's definitely adorable!
Before I started blogging, I, too, wondered at how connected everyone seemed - and now I've been getting to know just how it works. Have you noticed that the biggest time sink of blogging is actually reading other people's blogs?
But I have a paper to finish this morning. Glad you're in the knitting-medicine world with us.
Hon, don't even THINK about saying "late" - you've finished early! I still have most of a sock to knit! LOL.
I found you through Kristen, by the way. Nice to meet you!
The scarf is fabulous and I love the cheery color. I was also taken aback by the interconnectedness of the knitting blog world, it's nice to be a part of a community and get feedback that totally unexpected at times.
Lovely Hiking Scarf! Love the color too! And a very cute baby...
Wait, just re-read the post -- just a minute there, girlie...Lace is a wonderful thing, yes, and intricate and all that. But you're mothering and doctoring and that's a lot harder to do than lace! You'll have time enough...
