Time Flies!

I cannot quite believe it has been 2 weeks since the last post. It doesn't seem as if I've been doing very much - but, in retrospect, I have. I had to travel to Atlanta for work last week. Yep, that's right - I flew on 9/11. The airports were sure quiet. Our flight, on the other had, had a bit of excitement. Seems that some young men decided to be foolish and make jokes about bombs. Well, no one else found it funny and they were escorted from the flight (before we took off, fortunately) by state troopers. Sigh!

Anyway, while in Atlanta for work, I found Knitch. It is a lovely yarn and fiber shop not far from downtown. It took me less than 10 minutes from the Olympic Park area. The staff was helpful, the shop was lovely and they'd just opened a new dye kitchen that made me envious. I ended up buying a new spindle and some lovely merino silk blend for spinning. I also found out that the Yarn Harlot will be there this week (tonight, I think). I was a week too early!!! Sigh (again!)

The other thing that has been filling my time is Ravelry. I GOT MY INVITATION!! It came while I was out of town. I've spent a few hours here and there on it just exploring. What a gift this is!!! I am still trying to maneuver my way around (I am fatesthread on Ravelry) but am having loads of fun. These folks are amazing - the ones who thought it up and have exected it. I've got some techno challenges, as usual. I am 'graphically challenged' but it'll work out, I am sure.

On my needles: I am working on a 2nd sock of On-Line Superwash Sock yarn in bright colors; that's them above. I got to go to the Detroit Tigers Stitch 'n Pitch and started it there. I worked on it while traveling and am 2/3 of the way finished. I am already thinking of the next project so I must be close (at least psychologically) to finishing this one. I'll write more about the ball game another time.

Now, to bed to nurse this migraine.
