wow!

it kind of amazes me to think that rosary and i have been friends for this long without actually knitting together. we've talked about knitting in an abstract way, but i never actually saw her knit until last night. whoa! she is fast! and she can wind a beautiful centre-pull ball on her thumb in no time! and seh can identify just about any yarn in my house) on sight! i am in awe, and madly jealous. crazy.
in other news, i cast on thuja last night and worked on it this morning and somehow even though i've got only an inch done managed to pick up an extra stitch somewhere. sigh.
