Last night my friend Ann hosted a stitch and bitch at my house. Ann lives in a teensy tinsy village called Blue Diamond on the outskirts of town. It's an enclave of UNLV professors and people nicknamed Twitchy. It's an odd town, to say the least.
In any case, seven women sat around my living room, drinking wine, eating popcorn, knitting, and gabbing about work, men, weddings, and Chlamydia. Good times, good times.
I'm attempting to knit Bean a hat, using four double-pointed needles! (Egads!) I think, after my third attempt, that I have the hang of it. At first, the brim was big enough to fit me, so I unwound it and reduced it by 2/3. While Bean has her father's beautiful blue eyes, she unfortunately has my huge noggin. Hats and narrow doorways can prove difficult.
It was very nice to have a bunch of ladies to play with. I feel so isolated sometimes, what with the whole kid-strapped-to-my-side gig. It was nice to talk to others about something other than diaper rashes and Ferberizing. Talking instead about the Clap was really refreshing.
