Several people I know (and you know who you are) took a vacation from blogging this weekend. Several of them, if you can count TWO as several, are knit bloggers and one of them (since I host her web page) continued to get comments on her last post which was last Tuesday! However, they did not quit their knitting. I observed them while they were allegedly watching TV and I saw them knitting and using some sort of odd Trainspotting clickers and little things that looked like rubber bands from some teenager’s braces.

OK, so it was my sister and Carolyn. The sad part was that I was the only one watching the TV intently, and I was outvoted 2-to-1 on the movie choice. I wanted to see Love, Actually and they wanted to see The Bourne Supremacy.

Luckily, I only had to go to two yarn stores and I developed a little game to play while there: wondering if I could use any of the yarn to tie flies. I haven’t ever caught a fish on a fly (only went once) but I still daydream about it. But I have tied a bunch of flies.
