It was very exciting. Alex got and award and we dressed up and had fancy (and free) food, and I even got some work done on the current sock project. It was a great night.
It was a pear salad with a raspberry vinaigrette
This was some sort of beef dish. I had two bites of the meat and ate the mashed potatoes and beans.
And there was tea! My favorite too.
And here is my handsome husband with his award. I forgot to take a better picture after the dinner, so this is what you get to see.
As a knitter, I had to figure out what the evening's project was going to be. I didn't want anything to flashy that would draw attention to myself (that left out the bright sparkly pink scarf) and it couldn't be anything with a chart (no sweater either) and it had to be small enough to fit in my little yellow purse. I decided (after an hour of thinking) that I would stick with the ordered pair of socks for my mother's friend.
All was going well with the socks until I got to the heel and realized I was four stitches short. So, I fudged I it a little bit and just kept going. It's also a few rows too long, but I figure that after a good washing and blocking, nobody but me is going to know. Unless of course the recipient finds that they fit very differently on each foot; but I'll cross that bridge if it comes.
It's beautiful and sunny this morning. If you can, go out and enjoy it.
