preparation

Cooking: delightful skewers of chicken, fresh pineapple, red bell peppers, and zucchini. Dinner before a long day of fiber overdose at Stitches West.

Packing: my bag with knitting, snacks, water, a book (one always has a book to read at all times), and lunch, as well as an extra train ticket which was sent to me. I paid for one, was charged for one, and received two. Yes, I will be turning it in to the "proper authorities."

Checking: yarn yardage and weight needed for some patterns.
