It’s birthday week for my family. Starting September 20 and running through October 16, we have a ton of birthdays. Most notably, the girls in my family all celebrate birthdays within a 3 week window. I love having a fall birthday, because people start to buzz this time of year getting ready for Holidays, parties and cooler weather. And the fact that we have birthdays right at the beginning of all this is awesome.

This year is the first year I’m not going home for ‘birthday weekend.’ I opted for a trip a few weeks later to catch a Homecoming Football game in Texas. It’s my little sister’s senior year in high school and Homecoming games are a big deal.

I got to tell you, I’m feeling a little blue about not ponying up the extra air fare and just going home 2x in one month. And it doesn’t help that a good friend is in Texas this weekend and Twittering about good weather, good food and Blue Bell ice cream.

But, just because I’m a little blue this weekend, doesn’t mean I’m not motivated! I’m determined to hand make more Christmas gifts this year. So far, I’ve knitted one (uno, 1, primo) sock and I have the second one to go and I’m working on a few scarfs. I’ve got big plans for this yarn! I’m working this yarn in  K rows 1&2 and YO row 3 pattern. It’s starting to look so good.

I’ve got plans to catch the Radical Lace and Subversive Knitting events over at SMOCA for a little inspiration. Perhaps dinner at The Orange Table. Thanks Wayne for the 411.
