I am back…actually, that is not the exciting news. The really exciting news is that The Principles of Knitting is being republished! Yay! Where do I sign up? Woo Hoo! Even though I already own the original, I have pre-ordered the new one. Apparently, June Hiatt has been working on the edits for YEARS and so the new one is sure to have some new material. This is a ‘must have’ for serious knitters.
I got back from Florida last night at midnight. Here are a couple of pics from the trip. I won’t bore you with more!
Call this picture: My Final Trip to Disney*
Frolicking in the Surf at Cocoa Beach (I was beached)
Our weather was ideal…perfect in every way. We did everything we set out to do, so it was a successful trip, but I am very glad to be home.
*PS: to Jani who wrote, “I never ever comment, but couldn’t resist adding: Final trip to Disney . . . until the grandkids want to go. :)” No, final is final. Laura and Jena can take their own kids!! I’ll be at the beach!
I never ever comment, but couldn’t resist adding: Final trip to Disney . . . until the grandkids want to go.
I’m headed to Florida next week, and hoping the weather remains ideal. Oh, and thanks for the great book news!

Ah – you uncover a fatal flaw in my parenting! Because we never took our kids to Disney, we have already been informed we are responsible for getting the grandkids (when/if they arrive) to the place!
And thanks for the info on the book – I am going to go preorder right now!
Welcome back, too, by the way!

When one of my children asked to go to Disney, I said, “Sorry, wrong parents.” It’s true. But they survived.

Thanks for the info on the book, I’ve had it on my eBay search list for years, but could never afford it when one came up. I pre-ordered and it will ship next November, I’ll have forgotten about it by then and be surprised when it arrives!

Your daughters are adorable! I think you achieved your goal, the girls look like they were having fun! We took our kids to Disney when they were young, 5, 7, & 9. I can tell you one thing we could have SKIPPED the 3 days in Disneyworld and had 3 more wonderful days at the beach.

I really enjoy reading your notes every day.
Thank you for starting out my day, with knitting news.
