Waiting at the Bakery

We are sitting right next to the big ovens, toasty warm on an overcast morning, waiting for our Blue Bottle coffees. Shimmering in the foam of my cappuccino is a lovely loopy leaf design, which also can be found tattooed on the nape of the barista's neck. She changes her look fairly frequently, but can always be recognized once you know the secret.

Although today is World Wide Knit in Public Day, the best I could manage was a few minutes out in the backyard, working out the lace pattern on my latest scarf. It was too cold to be Out In Public, grey and a bit windy. No one saw me but the birds.
