# 102 and other things …
102. In 1991 I co-hosted a dinner party for a woman who went on to become this years Nobel Peace Prize Winner

A quick pic of my beautiful family, in the holiday spirit:

actual knitting content:
I’ve been making progress on my remedial knitting, but now must rip it back five inches and increase the rate of decreases (does that sound funny to you as well? When I tire of the remedial knitting, I spend a few minutes on my desser tknitting - the bamboo shawl - which is so delightful to knit I must ration it out. I may break my no new projects rule, my godmother, who funded my grandmother’s charity knitting for decades, asked for a pair of homemade mittens.
Aunt Judy is a spinster, she lived with my grandmother her whole life, until Gram went into the home almost two years ago. Judy’s world is really, really small and she gains imense pleasure in doing for others, first it was me and my brother, now it is our children. Judy has always been a bit special. When I was in college, Aunt Judy would send care packages, they would have 10 packs of gum, a few packages of instant soup, some socks, a pair of underwear and other odds and ends. When I first got to college, I would wait till the hall was empty, lock the door, and secretly open the packages - hiding whatever was the weirdest item - sure my roomate and friends would mock me. Eventually, they caught on and by senior year, my roomates would come running into the library “WE GOT A PACKAGE FROM AUNT JUDY, HURRY, LETS GO HOME AND OPEN IT!!!!” When we’d get home, they would fight over the contents, the lipton cup of soup and the leapard skin panties would be traded for nights free of dish duty or a round of beer at the pub.
Over the years, Aunt Judy became my confidant, while I never really had lean years on the dating front - I had lean periods of “acceptable” dates - Judy’s warning was always to find someone, anyone, and not end up lonely like her. Shortly after dating Dave, we took Aunt Judy to Haymarket Square and the North End in Boston - an afternoon out in the city was a rare treat for her, and eating non boiled dinners cooked by her mother an even greater adventure. She ordered black ink dyed squid ravioli and had two desserts. Dave was so wonderful with her, that it was at that moment I knew I had to marry him (I knew I was going to marry him on our first date - but that is another story all together.)
So you, the ladies of the jury must conceed that her request for hand knit mittens trumps all other promises I made for knitting fidelity. The only problem is that she requested “Acrylic” - she actually said “Red Heart” eek - I don’t think Red Heart will do for Aunt Judy - I’m off to the stash and see if I can upgrade her a bit.

Definitely an upgrade situation. Patons at the very least, but there’s surely something in your stash that’s Aunt Judy worthy.
