Thanks for all the nice birthday wishes! I did actually get some cake, however it was not an easy task. Markus and I ended up walking to 5 coffee shops before we found one that sold cake (Starbucks coffee cake doesn’t count, that’s something I would normally eat on a non-birthday). We had cake at the Coffee Tree on Walnut St. It was a chocolate sour cream cake with pieces of chocolate stuck to the sides. The cake was so beautiful, I wish I had brought my camera with me so I could have taken a picture.
I got some lovely birthday gifts as well. Beth and Lisa were so sweet to think of me while on their vacation in San Francisco. They bought me 2 hanks of Lorna’s Laces sock yarn in the color “Parry Hotter”. The colorway was inspired by the house colors of Gryffindor and dyed especially for the store Noe Knit. I’ll have to keep an eye out for a Harry Potter sock pattern…
Markus bought me an iPod Nano! So what am I currently listening to?

Because I’m just so au courant when it comes to music.
And finally some REALLY exciting news. One of my designs was accepted to Interweave Knits! Now to get busy knitting!
Congrats on being accepted into Interweave Knits! Can’t wait to see what you’ve cooked up!
Congrats on getting a pattern into Interweave! That’s so exciting. It’s like the holy grail of knitting magazines.
