Warriors Win!

Labeled as one of the most exciting NBA playoff games ever, Susan and I got to experience it first-hand.


Loomis Group, one of my ad agencies, invited Susan and me to the game....here's our view from the suite.


For the fourth quarter, we moved down to the courtside seats...here's a view of our suite from down below.

Not a bad view!

Some Scintillating Knitting Photos

Here is the first scarf I made (the one I referred to in my first posting) when it was still on the needles and about 75% completed.
The same scarf, now finished. Woo hoo!
A little pink hat - the only thing I have made so far that isn't a scarf. I made this in a two-part class at ImagiKnit called, appropriately enough, "Hats".
Everything I have knit so far - minus one blue scarf sent to my mother in New York and one orange scarf made for my friend Sarah.



From left: The scarf that started it all (big, chunky wool); lt.blue scarf made for "Knitting 101" class (silk & linen, tiny stitches, took a loooong time); purple & green wool scarf (long and skinny, first time using rib stitch); multicolor pastel scarf (done as experiment using acrylic yarn and giant needles - finished the whole thing in less than 2 hours!); pink wool hat made in "Hats" class; black,purple & blue short scarf (made from "fun fur" - yarn label said it was for a beginner but it was actually kind of a pain to knit. Oh well - it looks cute on!)

Morpheus Learns To Knit

Here is a photo of Morpheus next to a pile of "in progress" knitting projects. The blue yarn on the metal needles turned into a scarf for my mom, the light blue yarn turned into the first project for my "Knitting 101" class and the red yarn was for practicing on.
