Where you do the clicking.
I'm so behind in posting pics. Click here to catch up with my 365 project. From there you can click on the next photo in the little browse window on the right.
I also took a trip to South Carolina for week of vacation. You can see those pictures here. There are descriptions under each of the photos.
The only yarn store within 90 minutes had a going out of business sale last Saturday. Laurie and Lacey and I went. See pictures here of all our fun.
Tomorrow we get a new group of two-year-olds in Sunday School. Every year I get nervous and excited. We so loved our class last year.
It's hard to leave them to go to a new group, but we know we'll love them, too. I made them Jello Jigglers. I hope they like them.
I'll post some knitting updates soon. I've finished a few things that I haven't even gotten into ravelry yet. See, it's not just the blog I'm neglecting. You know, it's all facebook's fault!

July 4th
I realized yesterday that today is my blogiversary. Two years ago today when I was off for Independence Day, I started Yarn to Knit. Last year I thought about it enough in advance to do a contest. Not so much this year. It snuck up on me. Oh, well. We'll have a quiet celebration here with just us: me and you regular readers.
I do have a couple of pictures to show you. First up is my June Mosaic:
Those are all of my "Pictures of the Day" from my 365 project in the month of June. As with any of my pictures, you can click on the photo and it'll take you to its page in my flickr account where you can see it bigger and read my notes. There's also a link to camera techy info about stuff like exposure and shutter speed if you're into that sort of thing.
These next pictures are of my latest FO. (That's "Finished Object" for you non-knitters.) I made the Mitered Hanging Towel from Mason Dixon Knitting Outside the Lines. The yarn is Lily's Sugar & Cream in Sunshine, Hot Orange, Hot Pink, Hot Green, and Over the Rainbow.
Happy Independence Day, y'all. The magnitude of what our founding fathers did didn't become real to me until I visited Colonial Willaimsburg in 2003 and walked the roads they walked and sat in the buildings where they sat. The guides told the stories of the birth of our nation. Did you know Thomas Jefferson was only 26-years-old when he wrote the Declaration of Independence? He and the others weren't politicians or soldiers. They were regular guys. Family men, farmers, tailors. They saw the unfairness of the way the British treated the colonists and set out to right a wrong. The risk was so high. They were challenging the British Empire, one of the strongest governments on earth. Battle by battle, step by step, they carved out a nation. We enjoy the freedoms we have today because of these brave men, and those who have followed after them in defense of our nation. American soldiers of the past, present, and future, you have my gratitude.

The Weird Thing about Facebook
The Weird Thing about Facebook is all my worlds collide there. There are people I knew as a teenager in South Carolina, people I went to college with, people I worked with many years ago after moving to Columbus, people I work with now, cousins, people from my knitting group, people from church. All in one place. Someone is going to write something on my wall that's going to offend someone else. I know it's going to happen. It's only a matter of time.
