The weekend

[fabrisse]

Dad got out of the hospital on Thursday evening and was back in -- another, better -- hospital on Friday night.

Congestive heart failure, but it's treatable. I'm still coming to Arisia, but I may abruptly disappear if things take a turn.

I saw Little Women on Saturday night with Elle and Kay. It's not bad, but I hate the way Amy was written and that detracted from the whole film for me.

Yesterday, I met up with neotoma. We had a ritual exchange of pastries (I bought at the French baker, and she bought at the Greek). We had a decent brunch and then went to a knitting store.

I am firm in my belief that knitters release spores of some kind because I have been infected. I have some gorgeous blue linen yarn, bamboo needles and a vague idea for a scarf/small shawl. Wish me luck.

Luck with the shawl/scarf!

Shawls and scarves work excellently for improvising from a vague idea.

Glad to hear your dad's condition is improving.

I am going to bring my copy of Vogue Knitting to Arisia, which is a great reference, but also the squishy blue hat yarn, because now that I think on it, a pussyhat is probably going to be an easier first project than a linen scarf.
