Knit-Out!

Hi hi hi! I have bunches of things to tell you, and as it goes, NO time to do so, so here's a placeholder post for you. And something to put on your calendar.

This Saturday, March 31st

Runagogo and a Knit-Out (you don't have to do one to do the other)

1pm: Meet at Lake Merritt in Oakland -  (a change in location here:) at the water fountain that's IN the lake, across the street from the Merritt Bakery. There's a little raised area there -- let's meet there.

Then run/walk with me (in front of me, behind me) around the lake as I finally get my 100th mile.

Please RSVP in comments for this, so if you're coming we'll know to look for you.

2:30pm - KNIT OUT at Temescal Cafe, on Telegraph, same block as Article Pract. All are welcome, no RSVPs needed. Just show up. I'm sure we'll be there a couple of hours at least. I can give people rides from the Lake to the knit-out if needed.

And quickly, yesterday's Dulaan knit-in was a hit! Lala made a hat! As she said, it wasn't perhaps the best hat in the world, perhaps they could give it to a bad child. It's small though, so it'll have to be for a very, very bad Mongolian baby:

It is, no matter what she says, a very cute hat. Great fun was had by all. More to follow.

you realize that the hat Lala knit is TOO CUTE!!!

I'd love to run with you, but when I run, it's a requirement that I shower before I socialize. So I'll probably run here, shower here, and then come to the knit-out and congratulate you on actually doing the 100! I'm a little behind, but, still running.

The hat looks very cute on the pup. Is it animal cruelty to attach some elastic to the hat and strap it to the dog?

[Ryan]

The Very Tiny Hat looks like it would go with the Very Tiny Socks I posted about last week. Now we just need to find a Very Tiny Baby.

(Lala does know, doesn't she, that, at best, that hat counts as half an item?)

Miss Idaho is a saint.

[Carrie]

God, that picture of Lala is adorable.

I think it is a very fine little hat - and it looks super on the pup!!

[AuntieAnn]

Lala looks so pleased! I'm not quite as sure about Miss Idaho.

[Cathi]

Is it wrong that I have a mental picture of them with the box of handknits, and then a row of babies, and them trying to judge which of them is the baddest?

That picture makes me want to procreate/adopt/kidnap a wee thing right. now.

[Amy]

Me thinks Lala needs to keep her hat for her lil baby dog, too cute.

[kristen]

A slightly premature congratulations on reaching your 100th mile!

[Stephen]

I'm an RSVP for both. This homo needs to a-go-go running.

[Wendy]

THANK YOU for that adorable photo of Lala with doggie in hat. I needed that.

[Jennie]

What fun! I'd love to show up at the lake but I doubt we'll make it all the way around (6 yr old who can get tired--which boggles the mind!). But would love to meet up again at the Cafe, so dangerously close to the wonderful Article Pract.

[Celia]

RSVP for both. I might finish my 200 miles before then, but, damn! Can't miss the BIG FINISH, can I? And I missed so much of the Knit In at your house, I just have to try again at the Knit Out, right?

[kate]

I'm a longtime lurker and fan of you blog. I, myself, am blogless, but I live in the neighborhood (sort of) and I knit (or dabble) and run (or, more accurately, plod). So, I'd love to join you this afternoon. I look forward to meeting you!
