Birthday Bonanza
I'm off to Target with the insane redheads to buy birthday gifts for 5 friends (FIVE) and for two older friends of mine. Yep, THAT'S how I like to spend a Saturday.
Who knew we had so many Leo friends?
Then it's back to work. I've not been posting as often as I'd like because I've been furiously writing, writing, writing - and in between that pattern checking, question answering, knitting, more pattern writing, more knitting, and just living!
It was the last week of camp so there were talent shows and goodbye parties, etc., and those things are necessary and eat a LOT of time. It's good though, to interact with other parents (on the other hand, that's where I was handed 3 of the above mentioned party invitations...) and always good to get to say Thanks to the teens who were summer camp counselors and wrangled the kids.
The camp is something I'll dearly miss when/if we move. There are so many good things about South Orange - and number one in my book is how truly (and beautifully) diverse this town is. We live in a very special place.

If and when you are ever ready to explore sleepaway camps,check out Y camps,also very diverse,reasonably priced and all over the US. My boy went here www. campmason.org in Blairstown,NJ for four summers.
It's so true Annie. There are so many different kinds of people. And it's such an artsy place with lots of wonderful looking homes and great places to eat. My favorite is "The Bull" (Toro Loco). I can taste it now.
The other great feature are all the parks and the activities they have in the summer. And all the underground music series performances. That whole area is a spiderweb of culture and diversity, devoid of the city-life feeling. It's the best of both worlds.
Hi Annie,
I'm starting on the Sideways Spencer (finally!) and I was wondering whether you could direct me to any groups or knit alongs for it. I haven't been able to find any online... but it seems one would be out there. I am confused already, and I am only a few rows into it. I am fairly sure it's just something I am doing wrong, but I'll be darned if I can't figure out what it is! I really want to make this sweater; I tracked down and paid $12 for this issue just for this pattern! I know it's going to be sooo beautiful when finished.
Crystal - have you seen the errata for the Sideways Spencer?
