I have such great friends!
September 11th is my birthday and it goes without saying that it is a hard day to celebrate on, but every year, a small group of friends throw a lobster party in true Jimmy Buffet fashion for me.
Last year, one of the girls brought fixings for pomegranate~pinapple vodka martinis. Me, being the conservative wine drinker that I am, was going to pass on trying one, but as you can see from the banner, not only did I try one last year...........I LOVED it!
Now, this is a creative group of friends........and when I arrived at the party and saw balloons pinned to a wall, cans all lined up and a smiling pinata.......I got very nervous.. What the heck was in store for me this year?????
Needless to say, between the martini's, the games, a beeeutiful fall tiara and great company, a very good time was had by all......but thank goodness, martini's are a once a year thing. ;-)
and a little knitting......
Now I remember just why I enjoy koigu so much!
Happy Birthday, and many more!

Happy belated birthday! I followed your lead and started that same shawl for my Abby in Koigu - only your color is much prettier - and I think I may need to rip it and start over, no great loss, one evenings work - I think I need to use stitch-markers. I lose my place in the instructions very easily, but I'm no master of lace...yet.

Happy birthday, Kim! I went to a 50th wedding anniversary party for my best friend's parents on Sunday, so you're not the only one who has a little trouble celebrating on that day. But they wound up having a wonderful time, too.
I hope you have many more such parties! :D

Happy Birthday Kim!!!
Someday I'm going to set aside enough money to do something substantial with Koigu. It looks luscious! Why is it we always put food descriptions to yarn?
