Time Flies

Where did the weekend go??  I lost two days of knitting and I am so sad.  The reason - my sisters and I threw a "Surprise" 30th Birthday party for my younger brother.  Saturday was running errands and Sunday was recovering:)  I just couldn't get it together to knit.
It was a fun time.  We had it at Jury's Hotel in Boston.  I highly recommend having a party there - the place is fabulous and the staff was the top!! Here is a picture of the room we had it in.  I included it because it was such a beautiful room and they had it all decorated for the holiday.

He was surprised up until the point of entering the hotel where he saw my parents car parked out front.  Man - one would have thought the valet would have moved the car to the garage.  But he was still happy!  All his friends came to toast him. 
Here's my little niece all decked out in fabulous party attire!

I love those fabulous shoes!  I am a little biased but she is so freakin' adorable !
On my Holiday Knitting List was a hat for my Brother - and I finished it last week.  I was going to wait until Christmas to give it to him - but I thought he could use because we are going to get a snow storm this week.  So I gave it to him on his B-Day.  He's going to kill me for posting a picture of him but he never visits my blog - so tough.
Here's the result.

I did a simple rib hat using Cascade Yarns - 50/50 Superfine Alpaca and Wool in a nice grey color.  I used about 1 and a half skeins - probably 155 yards.  It was a super bargain.  I got it in the 50% off bin at the Snow Goose in Milton.  It was originally 6.00 a skein - so I bought all 7 skeins to add to my stash!
Woo Hoo!  I love a bargain!

Hi there knitting lady,

Your knitting looks lovely and the kids are adorable. The snow is beautiful too, but certainly not adorable. It sounds like you're staying busy and, hopefully, warm in Florida.

Take care,

Love, Sarah
