Festivities continued...

Since I obviously didn't festivate enough on Saturday (cough cough, my checkbook would disagree, cough cough), I met up with a friend and went to the Denver Japanese Cherry Blossom Festival on Sunday (in LoDo). We made a beeline for the food (and chowed down on some yummy roasted teriyaki chicken and some sushi), then sat outside to wait for the Taiko show.


That boy? Had yo yos and spinning tops down to an art form. I don't know how much time he spends practicing his yo yo moves, but damn. I was impressed.

I've slowed progress on Madli, b/c I've been knitting away on the Sweet Feet sock yarn from Hill Country Yarns. I love the colorway, but had to fiddle around with needle size. Since I'm usually a tight knitter (i use US 2 on Opal and Trekking yarns), I thought I would need a US 3 for a yarn that says to use a US 2. After casting on with a US 3, it was obviously too loose. Switched to US 2 DPNs, too loose. So, I'm down to a US 0, using magic loop. I've got about 2 inches of cuff done... we'll see how far I get before I leave for Boston on Friday.

Tonight, a few of us (Jeni, Stacey, Michelle, Nachaele, Wanda, Christina) met up in the DTC area for a free music concert and knit. Stacey brought her SP 7 along, who was in town on business. Cristina came all the way from CA, and it was so fun to meet her! After the concert, Stacey and I took Cristina to the Lambshoppe, where she bought some cotton fleece for Green Gables (I think). By then, it's almost 10pm, but were we tired? NO. We head to Monkey Bean.

During the day today, I was on the horn all day calling realtors to set up apartment viewings in Boston this weekend. I had a tough time, b/c I'm really sad to say goodbye to Denver and all my awesome friends. A couple nights ago, I was perusing all my old Evites, and saw my housewarming evite from almost 4 yrs ago, announcing that I had finally admitted I was in Denver to stay. I guess I was wrong.
