sharks win!

while knitting the lovely bump blanket, i watched the sharks pull out a 4 to 1 victory over the flames. by the third period, the rocker had decided that he wanted to hold me, so i had to stop knitting. it really was kinda cute... it was nice to see that i wasn't the only girl knitting at the hockey game. there was a woman almost in front of me that was working on a fair isle sweater. she has a bunch more patience than i do. i'm not sure i'm up to working with all those yarns yet. cables? … [Read more...]
