An American in Rathmines

Sometimes, one needs to recharge one's (creative) batteries and hide out in their lair for the day. One must indulge with copious amounts of coffee and pancakes, and knit whilst watching many "quality" movies from time to time.
The pancakes weren't my best work but they weren't my worst attempt either. (I have a long standing career that has spanned nearly a lifetime.) This was due to the lack of baking powder in the pancakes so they lived up to their name and reputation and were truly flat. They were slightly rubbery as well but all can be forgiven because they were smothered in maple syrup. I rarely have much conflict or bad things to say about anything that is dripping with maple syrup.
Today, I am knitting and praying that I will finish A Thousand Splendid Suns while I watch An American in Paris. John bought me a musicals box set a while back. Musicals make great daytime watching.
Sorry that I have no pictures to post. I hope to take some pictures this week. I am also hoping to have another shop update for you. Promises, promises!
Other news- I now have the complete set of Barbara Walker's A Treasury of Knitting Patterns. I got the first and second one yesterday(blue and red one). I am so delighted with myself. I also saw Martin Scorsese's Hugo in the cinema last night. It is lovely and I look forward to seeing it again.
Going to go watch some more movies this evening and finish my cowl. All going well I will be doing some swatching and Christmas knitting. Oh Christmas knitting, you give me waves of anxiety and panic! I am also hoping Johnny will hoof it down to Leo Burdocks and bring us back a feast. I am feeling super lazy today and I am loving it.
Another thing that I wish to mention is that I am thinking about starting another Sock Club. I am hoping to run it for 3 months and you receive 2 different skeins of 2 ply Superwash Merino and Nylon. If you have any thoughts, please share. I will be also continuing the Sock Club that I have going. I will closing sign ups very soon.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful Sunday! I am!
