First of all: Laura, I challenge you to a duel! (You — not your mum, of course. I’m not stupid.)

I just can’t help it, I can’t let St. Patrick’s Day pass without marking it in some way. Soda bread is a requirement. Last year, my mum was visiting and we went out for our pint, which is a somewhat recent tradition. I missed that this year.

Should have made it to knit night tonight, but I just finished my Gretel beret and haven’t gotten another project organized yet. Please don’t banish me from the knitting group, just because I don’t produce. I can’t keep up!
