Just an update...

I went to a meetup and a spin-in. Yes, I was sociable! Usually I'm in the gym, or on the track, or slapped up against a rock, or ensconced firmly in my chair with a looming deadline, or spending face time with clients/project managers. However, I did find time to hang out with some of my favorite bloggers.

Five weeks ago (wow, long time) Lauren, her FHBF (he of the startlingly frank reviews), Lori and I met in Irvine for a little dinner and lots of gossip! Well, it wasn't all gossip, as we did talk about other things, like scientific research, theses, and climbing. And Aeron chairs. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures. Just imagine 3 girls and a guy in a bar talking into the night. It was great seeing them again!

Two weekends ago I attended the spin-in I hinted about. Andrea hosted the affair in her charming little Koreatown apartment. Also in attendance were blogless Caroline, Rose, Julia, Marnie, and Lori. It was great--fiber, spindles, wheels, and good company. Lori it seemed showed a fine aptitude for wheel spinning, but she's very cautious, not wanting to give in to the spinning dieties just yet.

I leave you with a picture of socks... Top-down versus toe-up.

Know any gnomes wanting socks?

Gallery Update: Bernadette knit up a Liesel in a lovely blue color. Thanks for emailing me, Bernadette!
