It has been far, far too long since I was able to blog. For two weeks, I've had no internet at home. Not that it would have mattered- my laptop died (hard), followed a few days later by my desktop. The laptop is still a hunk of useless plastic right now, but the desktop has miraculously come back from the dead. When I pay off my couch... I'll think about that MacBook Pro I want so badly. In the meantime, I'm back online, I have a working CPU, and I have a few things to show! I did not do much knitting in the past two weeks... I packed, I moved, I unpacked, and I went to bed REAL early. But I did manage to block Hanami before I left the old place, and I got a few action shots at the Tidal Basin during the Cherry Blossom Festival. If only it had been 10 (or 30) degrees warmer. I made it to the Yarn Party in Takoma Park today, which was delightful- but I'll blog that a bit later. And I didn't stop knitting entirely these past weeks- I started what is looking to be one brilliantly pretty shawl. In the meantime, I present Hanami!
The requisite blocking photos
I wanted to model it over a pretty little black dress. My big black jacket will have to do for this year.
One last photo for the road. He didn't want his picture taken, but I think he looks adorable in front of the blossoms. Don't you?

They all look great - the flowering trees, the shawl, and the boy. :) I saw this on the interwebs the other day and thought of you. I don't know if it's near you, but just thought I'd pass it on...

Oh doh. I just saw that it was today.
It's OK, Dallas- I was there! Can you really imagine a major yarn event in the DC-area... that I wouldn't be going to? Well, I can't imagine one off-hand. It was lots of fun! But WAY too many knitters in a small room. I did come away with three beautiful locally hand-dyed sock yarns. My feet will love them.
The best part of the Yarn Party was knowing so many people there. I love how tight the DC knitting world has become, especially since Ravelry. I hope I meet just as many lovely folks now I'm in Virginia.
