Life is getting busy. With less than three weeks before we leave for the US, our schedule is packed in such a great way.
Things kick off this Saturday with Clover's annual Knit Out - the event was held at Roppongi Hills last year and it has been planned a little differently this year with lots of mini knit outs in cafes around Harajuku/Omotesando/Aoyama. The main session of the knit out will be happening this Saturday October 28 (12:30pm - 8pm) and Sunday October 29 (11am - 8pm) in the basement of Omotesando Hills. Come and knit!!! As a side note, both Taeko and myself will be participating in a talk show on Saturday, where we'll talk about the Tokyo SNB and Taeko's other crafty group - Shibuya Shugeibu. It's a little bit nervewracking.
Then that night we are heading to see Peaches at Unit in Ebisu.
On Sunday to celebrate the visit of my friend Amanda, who's on her way back to Australia from Copenhagen, we are going to search for an outdoor onsen with views of pretty red leaves.
At the beginning of November there is even more excitement with more visitors - I'm finally getting to meet Mariko and Kelly who will be visiting on official Superbuzzy business.
In Jaywalker sock news, I decided to take Stephanie's advice and finished the second sock in um....a totally different sock yarn. It is certainly now a mutant sock. Photos to come!
OOH and Jen of Moving Hands, one of the original founders of the Tokyo SNB and mother of two has started blogging again, as has Joy of Dynamite Knits who now lives in beautiful Hawaii (so jealous...) - YAHOO! Nice to have you back ladies.
Oh and in piggie news, we've decided that Loretta is our teen pig. She's rambunctious and rebellious and just a little bit crazy. She talks constantly, picks fights with Sugar and headbutts her dish in the morning...sometimes at night too. Darin created this photo just for her. You get the idea.
wow, lots lots lots going on! and anna d. is leaving tokyo soon too :( but for good. sad!

Loretta is soooo gorgeous. I miss having my piggers. That's it. I'm adding you to my blogroll.

Boy, you ARE busy! And when did Jen have another child? I remember when she was pregnant with the first! Have fun at the Knit Out!

Wait a second, you're not moving from Tokyo, are you? Just visiting the States, right? Wow, that would be a big move, if you are...
Can't wait to see the mutant sock--heh heh!
Your teen piggie: just wait until she starts dating and asking to use the car on weekends :)
