Weekend in Sai Kong

As I've blogged before, there are many facets to Hong Kong that most people (including myself) did not know exists out here.  When I'm not coughing yuckiness from the pollution - I get to enjoy scenery like this:

Sorry, so small - but these are borrowed shots (I will fix the sizing soon).

Except I was doing this: 

For all 13.1 miles of the China Coast Semi-Marathon - through steep, rolling hills after hills.  Clocked at 1hr and 51 minutes (unofficial), I am mighty pleased, even though I look otherwise, to start 2008 officially in Hong Kong.

Happy New Year !

I went home for the holidays. I do love christmas season in NY, outside of the malls and the din of tinny christmas songs.

Anyway, I'm running late for work but wanted to post my beautiful niece, M. I thought I knitted a wee hat for her, but the hat is wearing her... She's a cutie anyway.  Miss you, baby girl.

The pattern is from a Japanese knitting book; the yarn was my left over Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran from a wristlet I made in the same pattern for myself. Cheers !
