Saturday Sky & Vikkie Day Oh My!

What day is today? *blink* Where have I been? Lots going on over here for the Otter. It's a very fun time. :D

This past Saturday was an absolutely wonderful day.

Although it was a bit windy and sometimes overcast it was really nice. Plus it was Vikkie Day so it was kickass, just as one might expect a Vikkie Day to be.

Before I go any further let me show you the sky, as seen from the front porch of my favorite LYS.

The day started off bright and early for me. Actually I'm not sure how bright it was then. I got up at 6:00 am and started preparing the Vikkie Day Lunch. I made a baked pasta thingy and salad.  I got to the shop around 10:00 and started drinking lots of coffee and knitting & Chatting with Florrie and another nifty lady who was there.

Guess who was not there? Well two people, but freakishly missing was one Miss Vickie.

How can you have a Vikki Day without a Vikkie? Not like you can just randomly pick one up at the store. *sigh* So that's when the harassing phone calls started. I had to call her twice before she finally showed up. Something about knitting like mad in a crazy sock competition while going to school and needing to sleep sometime. Pfbt! Sleep is for the dead. And the undead. She could'a knit through the pain. :P

(YAY!! Squeee!! I just saw on the sock thingy that she won a prize and I'm such a dork I called her to tell her to check the sock madness blog. Dork History in the making!)

After Vikkie Finally showed up we got to knit and talk and just be plain silly. I'm good at silly so this was mucho fun for me. :D Florrie, Vikkie and I had some of the yummy lunch and then Florrie got back to her stuff and left me to annoy Vikkie all by myself until MonkeySocks eventually showed up. The three of us went outside onto the comfy Patio to knit and talk while we enjoyed the sometimes sunny afternoon. I took a picture of Vikkie while she was knitting. With her permission here it is.

Vikkie Knitting in her natural habitat @ Deluxe Yarns aka Florrie's.

I was stalking her through Florrie's Irises. :P

We knit and talked some more until Rachel showed up after 5:00 and the four of us went to Vikkie Day dinner. I had a few drinks ti further my way along with Resolution #10. *L* I even got Vikkie & MonkeySocks to get a Dirty Vodka Martini. I'm not sure how they liked them. How'd you guys like that? *L* Most people don't care for straight up Grey Goose vodka with a splash of olive juice. Mmmm I love it.  Rachel has people inside her and therefore was the responsible person of the night. There may even have been some yummy Vikkie Day Yarn Giftie involved in the evening. It was a last minute giftie MonkeySocks and I picked up for Vikkie after we noticed her eye balling it all day.

After a yummy dinner Rachel went home and MonkeySocks and I went to Vikkie's to see her yarn and knit things. Also some crocheted things. She has these little crochet purses. One of them looked very much like a Penis Cozy. *snicker*

MonkeySocks drove me home sometime after 10:00 pm... maybe closer to 11:30...

It's amazing how much people can talk about with other people. It was a really fun day and I'm so glad I've had the opportunity to meet all these nifty Reno Knitters.

*Blows kisses at all my Girlies* *wink wink*

So yeah still no knitting content. I have been knitting. Just nothing really new to show for it. The Ducky Hat and I are doing this two steps forward one step back thing. Gotta tink back another row. I really shouldn't have been knitting the chart part of his face during the season finale of Battlestar Galactica. D'oh!

The honey socks are going well. I'm doing an Eye of the Partridge Heal and am LOVING it. :D So cool!

Other than that just dreaming about all the cool knit projects I want to do with all the cool yarn I have. *L*

Wow, sounds like a great Vikkie Day. Sounds like my kinda fun, though.

[Devorah]

Sounds like a great day! Why didn't we see the socks drinking?

[Carole]

I think you need to have a Carole Day. I'd drink Dirty Martinis with you. :-)

[Cat]

Sounds like a blast. I would love to try a dirty martini. I'll save my experimentation until the day we meet :-)

Hugs!!!

I am more than willing to drive on Carole Day. :D

[Monkey Socks]

I have to say Vikkie Day was super fun!! We should have a Knitty Otter or Rachel day next. I am thinking I took you home closer to midnight, but honestly once it's that late it doesn't really matter. :-) I loved the Dirty Vodka Martini; we should have more really soon. :-) It's back to the work day grind for me ...woohoo.
See you very very soon... :-*
