Liberty, Front Left

Another Piece of Liberty

When I actually put my mind to it and work on Liberty, the knitting doesn't really take all that long. I guess it pays to focus. My problem is that I have too much to focus on, crafty and otherwise, so nothing seems to move forward quickly. Ah well, it's unlikely that I will be wearing a cashmere blend sweater until fall anyway, so if Liberty's pace is more gradual, that's fine with me.

Where did I disappear to last week? Well, work stole away one of those posts and a trip to a fabulous restaurant to celebrate John's birthday a little later than usual took up the other. Alinea
is almost deserving of a post of it's own (it was the sort of place I wish I'd had a camera in... but it's also the sort of place that you would probably not want to pull your camera out in). Suffice it to say, we loved it, it was a wonderful dining experience in both food and service. Both the food and presentation was always clever.
