Los Angeles

So, on the topic of Eating My Lunch, wonderful Sarah and Helen taught me how to increase beautifully for a 2x2 rib. But more on that when the actual sweater sleeve is done. Then there will be pictures.

But for now, I want to blog about my first time ever being in Los Angeles. From a few posts back, I had told ya'll that I'd be going to LA For Kyle's Birthday and such, so I have a few photos of that LA is really like.

But aside from all the L.A. stuff, what was really nice was spending time with cool knitting friends, cutting up and just chillin.

I arrived in LA in the morning and Kyle picked me up. Then we went around taking pictures of what you see above...... as Shirley Q' Liquor would say, I'm so "ignant" that I actually asked Kyle if the Grauman's Chinese Theather was where they only played Chinese movies. DUH! I had no idea that's where all those hands where.

Anyways, then we went and picked up John and Chuck and then the craziness begun. Cutting up, laughing, chatting..... pretty much all weekend long. We went to the Cheesecake Factory and didn't do anything but eat FRIED Appetizers and drink Smoothie's with Vodka and Mojito's with Bak Choy in them. It was fun.

Then we got home and the next day was the Griffindyeworks Workshop. Now that was a little scary day. The LA fires were pretty bad and this was a picture of what was burning from where we were at.

But other than that gigantic bellow of smoke, we had good times. It was the first time where I met Charles and CraftyDiversions (Anne). Too cool.

And my first dyeing experience turned out like this:

Not too shabby I think. I don't think I'd ever dye again, but at least now I can say that I had done it.

Then back home, dinner, pizza, chatting, sleep and then before I knew it, it was time to go.

So, now I'm back to work, and blogging about all this now. :) Anyways, Happy Birthday Kyle and I had a GREAT time in LA.

Chuck, John, I'll see ya next week!
