What I learned when Alison came to visit
She’s just as cute in person as in photos, if not cuter (but here’s another photo, so you’ll still have to take my word for it):
If you surround yourself with enough friends and enough snacks, knitting with wool on a hot NYC evening can be almost tolerable:
Doggie love knows no breed. Jackie brought her dog Ty over and he and Sadie fell in love. They’re talking about a June wedding:
That’s all I’ve got, folks. I’ve learned something else. As my knitblogger friends become less like knitbloggers I’m friendly with and more like friends who happen to blog, the less I remember to whip out the camera to document our adventures. I think that’s probably a good sign. Good for the friendships, anyway, if not for the blog. Three guesses which I think is more important.
And speaking of friends who happen to blog, Anne has started a blog! Go say hi to her. (please)
ahh, i wonder what kind of doggie knits are possible for this june wedding! 😉

Children. Friends. Damn, its always hard to make a decision. I’ll stick by my choice, but I still say I’d have been in both places at once if I could have figured out the logistics.

Awww, doggie love is so cute. Sorry I had to knit, munch and run…

Also, there’s that kind of awkward self-consciousness of taking pictures among blogging friends, because they already know the chances of them appearing on the ‘net are high and what if their hair isn’t just quite right and they don’t have any control over what pics you post and…better to just enjoy the company and go with Daniel Boorstin on the whole not attenuating the experience by focusing on documenting it instead of just living it at the moment.
Or maybe it’s not that at all. 😉

I’ve found the same thing to be true – the more my knitblogging friends become simply my friends, the less I seem to feel the need or desire to document the occasion.
From all accounts, it seems that everyone had a wonderful time, and that’s what is important!

that’s quite a profound statement about photos and bloggers; and I completely agree with you! That being said, thank you for sharing the pictures you took – the one with the dogs is a hoot! (thanks for sharing the lace pattern too; I’m going to print it out and will share pics if/when I make it)
