That&#8217;s a nice whack of commenting!<br \/>\nLast Saturday I went to lunch with my awesome friends <a href=\"http:\/\/knitabulous.blogspot.com\/\">Knitabulous<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/drkknits.wordpress.com\/\">DrK<\/a> before SnB to celebrate my birthday. We ate at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diggies.com.au\/\">Diggies<\/a>, where the view is great and the food delightful, as always. There was beautiful pink birthday presents!<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/040610%20008.html\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/040610%20008.html','popup','width=800,height=600,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/040610%20008-thumb.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"337\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nYuumy yarn from Kylie and a bag in preparation for the big Bendigo trip next month from Ailsa! Afterwards we headed over to SnB, always a fun way to spend an aftenoon. (And where I once again failed to take the camera out of my bag)<br \/>\nSunday night David and Em took me out to dinner where Emily ogled the waiters arms all night. Poor dude. But the meal was good! Monday was my birthday, where I was spoilt and fussed over, with gifts and messages and cakes and cards, including this awesomeness.<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/040610%20016.html\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/040610%20016.html','popup','width=800,height=600,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/040610%20016-thumb.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"337\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.heirloom-knitting.co.uk\/projects16.html\">Sharon Miller&#8217;s Wedding Ring Shawl<\/a>. Long term project, guys. More than 3500 yards of cobweb weight yarn. Check back in 10 years, when I might be halfway through it.<br \/>\nOn Wednesday, Ailsa and I took a trip to Newtown. We visited the button shop, where I bought some buttons for Tempest. By the way, she&#8217;s seamed!<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/040610%20014.html\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/040610%20014.html','popup','width=800,height=600,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/040610%20014-thumb.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"337\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nI actually wore it on Wednesday, despite the lack of buttons, which have still not been attached. While in Newtown, we popped in on the new yarn store, A Yarn and a Coffee. Great store! Not a huge range yet, but there&#8217;s some nice stuff, and it&#8217;s very comfy with the couch that Ailsa and I nabbed as soon as it was free, where we sat and drank coffee and knitted. Not long after we arrived, the lovely <a href=\"http:\/\/jpknittingandstuff.blogspot.com\/\">Jody<\/a> arrived with her mother in law for a sit and a knit, which was a nice surprise!<br \/>\nAnd in all of that, there was even knitting going on!<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/040610%20013.html\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/040610%20013.html','popup','width=800,height=600,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/040610%20013-thumb.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"337\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nShimmer now has two fronts as well as a back.<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/040610%20010.html\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/040610%20010.html','popup','width=800,height=600,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/040610%20010-thumb.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"337\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nAnd the Lace and Cable sock has progressed a little.
