I have such great friends!
September 11th is my birthday and it goes without saying that it is a hard day to celebrate on, but every year, a small group of friends throw a lobster party in true Jimmy Buffet fashion for me.
Last year, one of the girls brought fixings for pomegranate~pinapple vodka martinis. Me, being the conservative wine drinker that I am, was going to pass on trying one, but as you can see from the banner, not only did I try one last year………..I LOVED it!
Now, this is a creative group of friends……..and when I arrived at the party and saw balloons pinned to a wall, cans all lined up and a smiling pinata…….I got very nervous.. What the heck was in store for me this year?????
Needless to say, between the martini’s, the games, a beeeutiful fall tiara and great company, a very good time was had by all……but thank goodness, martini’s are a once a year thing. 😉
and a little knitting……
Now I remember just why I enjoy koigu so much!

Someday I’m going to set aside enough money to do something substantial with Koigu. It looks luscious! Why is it we always put food descriptions to yarn?

Happy birthday, Kim! I went to a 50th wedding anniversary party for my best friend’s parents on Sunday, so you’re not the only one who has a little trouble celebrating on that day. But they wound up having a wonderful time, too.
I hope you have many more such parties! 😀

Happy belated birthday! I followed your lead and started that same shawl for my Abby in Koigu – only your color is much prettier – and I think I may need to rip it and start over, no great loss, one evenings work – I think I need to use stitch-markers. I lose my place in the instructions very easily, but I’m no master of lace…yet.
