Knitting hasn't been at the forefront for the last few days, but it has been interwoven here and there. Instead, this has been a week focusing on true friendships.
A long time friend was having a rough week this week. He needed several favours which I was happy to help out with. The longest one to complete was looking after one of his sons for a few days whilst he took care of other matters. His son is twelve. We had a good few days of it. Some highlights included an international trip to visit a Zoo, walking in a Santa Clause "Parade of Lights", going to church and listening to music in a local "Bias-free" (all sexual preferences accepted) bar.
During the same time, I was able to meet with a local knitting group for a few hours and get some help on the Cardigan. I ended up finding the help in the Errata page on Ravelry for the pattern. I got a fair bit done on the Cardigan, but now it's on hold as I await a couple much needed measurements from my wife.
On Friday evening, my boss called looking for help on an important issue, so while babysitting and going to parades, church, zoo's and a bar we worked together on and off all day Saturday and Sunday (today). My friend collected his son this afternoon and I spent an enjoyable afternoon and evening divided between talking with friends, working, enjoying a few pints of beer, as well as listening to poetry, literature and good music.
Despite the fact there was work mixed into the first few hours of the afternoon, it was a most enjoyable way to wrap up several very busy days.
