After knitting about 4 inches all around on the Kureyon 95 pullover, I reconsidered my plan. It’s now a top-down design. The last few nights have been filled up – preparing petition packets at Hillary Clinton’s national campaign headquarters, working in the clothing room at ECHO – but this weekend should allow a little time to sit.
All four of us are driving over the mountain tomorrow morning to visit my mom for her 80th birthday celebration. We are taking her out for lunch, then dinner and cake will be at my sister’s place. I am really looking forward to finally giving her the feather and fan shawl. We are going to have good weather and the leaves should be turning colors up north.
The other big excitement this week was actually meeting Hillary Clinton in person. I attended an event at the Carnegie Institute of Washington, where she gave a science policy speech. She spoke about putting facts before ideology, creating a research institution for renewable energy, restoring NASA’s mission of protecting the planet – it was very inspiring to hear her talk.
