When Knitting Was a Manly Art

Did you all realize that March 1 is National Pig Day?

National Pig Day recognizes and gives thanks to domesticated pigs. For some unknown reason, big, pot-bellied pigs seen in zoos, are often the symbol of the day. Pigs are clever and intelligent animals. But, most people are unaware of this high level of intelligence. They can be taught to do tricks. Some people even keep them as pets. Today is a day to give pigs the respect that they deserve.

National Pig day is celebrated by zoos, too. Activities include Snort Offs, Pig Outs, and online Pig Chats. However you choose, do not miss celebrating this day.

Saturday is the start of three Saturdays in a row of culinary classes. This coming Saturday is Knife Skills. I hope to be a chopping wizard at the end of the class..

Lots of progress on the Gansey Sampler today. Both front and back are finished. Shoulders still need to be joined and then start on the sleeves.
