I had a fabulous time at the S’nB meeting last night. What a neat group of women. I think there were a total of 7 of us there, possibly 8, I don’t recall exactly. It is so enjoyable to knit in company. And the seating was very nice. Let’s just say that there won’t be a soft leather couch like that in my house for a very, very long time. Little children and baby soft leather don’t coexist peaceably without incident. I finished the eyelets on Abigail’s backpack. I’m not it love with them, but they are functional, I don’t know how I’d do them better, and I don’t care enough to frog. Did I mention that the first day of school is in ONE WEEK!!!? I can’t believe it. I’m confident that I can have Abby’s bp done by then, but I’m not so sure about Olivia’s. I’m glad she’s too young to read right now because she wouldn’t be happy about what I’m about to say….. I don’t like hers. It bugs me. It is too narrow, too thick, and the straps are a catastrophe. I do believe that once it is all finished and I find a way to get the straps right, I will like it better than I do now. I just don’t see that happening in the next week.

I like O’s backpack, and I think you will like it better when the straps are done. You are just too critical of yourself, a trait manyof us have. You are one of THE best knitters I have ever known. You rank right up there with Grammie and Aunt No! That is a huge compliment and achievement!

I had a great time last night too, it was great to finally meet you and I hope you can make it to future meetings. You’re right about the leather couches though, they don’t do well around children. Obviously I have a leather couch…it’s all scratched up and worn out because of the kid and two cats.
