Yesterday brought happy surprises. Scott is back from Iraq and walked through the shop door with a huge smile on his face. It was amazing to see him and a huge relief to know he made it back safely. Unfortunately Mindy was working then, but she joined us for Knit at Night. It was wonderful to see them together!

They will both be joining us at various points for Knit in Public Day. Yeah!
As we were all enjoying catching up with Scott and Mindy, Beth and her gang of happy knitters from Portland joined us. They had heard about our knitted boobs and wanted to join in on the fun and contribute their skills to the cause. Isn’t it amazing how knitting can bring us together? Beth and her group met, and became close friends through a knitting class she teaches. Ever since, they have been gathering on Thursday nights for knits, food, and good times. They were a very joyous crowd and brightened our evening. Thanks!
The night both elated and exhausted me. I’ve spent most of the day today getting ready for KIP tomorrow - and recovering from last night. Luckily, I had a little help. Connor, an entrepreneur in the making, struck a bargain with me and did the dishes:

He does good work too!
