<\/a><\/p>\nI’m teaching this as a class at The Studio<\/a> in August! I’m also teaching a class uh, next week, so I have to get that store sample done, pronto! (It’s a bath cloth, short rows, and it’s half done – in linen, one size zeros…)<\/p>\n I also finished my Opal Flamingo socks, and my gnome REALLY liked these:<\/p>\n We went out to the Stitch-N-Pitch on Sunday and had a great time. Sunburns for everyone, a big win for the team, and I’m actually going back out to the stadium tonight! I’ll probably be even sweatier. Yay! Kyra<\/a>, Beth<\/a>, Jimmi, Lissa<\/a> (in the row behind leaning forward):<\/p>\n Kristin<\/a> & Justin:<\/p>\n We all had names on our sleeves, and numbers on our backs (I was “11”, because THIS knitter goes to ELEVEN! – just like my old blog tagline, all of which was, of course, in homage to Spinal Tap.)

The day before he died, just hours before I got the phone call, telling me to come home, hearing the last words he truly spoke to me, I wrote this post<\/a>. I still remember the feeling inside, of crumpling, falling finally underneath it all – even before the phone rang. And you? You were there. You came through. You helped. And you haven’t left me. Thank you again. I found this post because I wanted to find the words I couldn’t remember, the poem about hope. If you don’t click through, here are those beautiful words, one more time.<\/p>\n Hope is the thing with feathers I have a couple finished objects….. The Emperor’s New Scarf (pattern by Lucy Neatby) is done! My gnome approves. I’m teaching this as a class at The Studio in August!

And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all.
