Liv’s birthday party was today, although her birthday is next week. We’re on spring break right now, and it seemed like a convenient time for a party. It went very well. Better yet, it’s over, and it’s been a long day.

I’m only another 2 to 2 1/2 inches into the shawl. I’ve been knitting on it a lot but it’s slow going, and every other row jumps up the stitch count. I think I have over half of it done length-wise, but I haven’t knit half the stitches yet because it keeps getting wider, and wider, and wider….

I talked with another neighbor yesterday, and they said that my neighbor with cancer isn’t expected to live out the month.

I’m going to go knit some more.
