I’m a daddy’s girl through and through. I adore my dad, and he adores me (ok, and the other four kids, too) right back. My father is one of the most gentle and ethical persons I know, and he has a heart as big as…well, the universe. His favorite gifts are little treats, so this year, it was "straight up" rhubarb pie.
A big, happy thank you to Kirsten of Through the Loops. I discovered her blog through Dye-O-Rama and have enjoyed getting to know her…and when I won a contest for the 100th comment on her blog, she sent me this lovely.
Wonderful colors, and the card has a recipe for chocolate cupcakes–yumsters! Kirsten was also gracious enough to post her original Sunkist Cardi pattern–I can’t wait to make one for myself.
I’m happy to report that I just finished sending out the last of nearly 200 e-mails for the KSKS participants. I felt badly taking longer than I had promised, but I can sleep well tonight knowing that’s done.
Finally, have you heard about Mama-E’s Sea Socks 2007 Cruise? It sounds like Noelle is thinking of going, and spending time with her and Mama-E is enough to entice me! I don’t have my dissertation defense date yet, and it’s bound to be sometime in April, so I can’t commit to it. There are rumors of a Fall ’07 East Coast cruise, which I will be on if it’s a go!
I’m getting off the computer now. I’ve been attached to it for too long over the last few days and need to finish up some knitting (gasp–did she say knitting?).
Cute picture of your Dad and y’all! I am excited about the prospects of a knitting cruise… any cruise. Don’t know if the finances and time will allow for it, but I can fall asleep dreaming about it until I know otherwise. Speaking of dreaming, the yarn from Kirsten is gorgeous! Can’t wait to see what you make with it. Cheers!
You knit?!

Rhubarb pie! Yum! Glad you like the yarn! 🙂
My father is one of the most gentle and ethical persons I know, and he has a heart as big as…well, the universe.
Well, that explains a lot!!!
Miss you.
I love the “hold up the camera and see what kinda picture we get” pose. Congratulations on getting everyone their pal!
Thanks for all your hard work organising the kit swap. It will be great fun! I love your photos 🙂
Thanks for the link to Through the Loops–the Sunkist cardi looks very cute! Please post your progress if and when you start it. And, what a lovely tribute to your dad. He must be quite a guy. 🙂
Hope you get some good knitting time in. You deserve it after all the hard work you put in to the swap! That cruise sounds like so much fun wish I could go.
