Yarning along this week again with Ginny from Small Things. This week getting any knitting done (or anything other than cleaning or organizing) was difficult. Poppa is really keeping me busy doing more of the things I should be doing when I am knitting, sewing or getting crafty. I think in another 2 weeks I will have the cleanest house in town lol.
However, the knitting must get done hee hee, so I have been knitting on the sly! Any minute I can get I pull out my little project and get what I can done.
I am working on this little football beanie I found on Rav. It was for a very dear friend of mine who is having a baby soon and I wanted to surprise her. Then as I was reaching the part where the decreases start when I found out she is having a girl. Oh I am so shtoopid! I must have brain damage or something. So now I am too far into it to stop and am really looking forward to seeing it finished. I also learned a little more kntting terminology with this pattern. It turns out that SSK means slip slip knit (I can hear you ladies laughing mind you! Remember I am a new knitter) SO I SSK’ed and learned a new way to decrease, yippee!! I am also happy to say I made it from yarn in my stash to continue with my stash bashing resolution this year.
Speaking of stash bashing, won’t you join me tomorrow, Thursday, for this weeks Stash Bash? Just blog about a project you made or finished from your stash or post a picture to Flickr then come back to tomorrows post and link up. In case you missed the details last week you can find them here.
This week, I am planning meals from The Organic Family Cookbook again and reading to the kids from one of their favorite book series of my childhood. Have you ever heard of or read The Happy Hollisters series. When I was little I would not get my homework done because I would get sucked into these books. Their family had so much fun and I guess looking back I always wanted to have a big family just like the book (though they only have 5 kids lol). Throughout the years I have found many of the books from the series and my kids can never get enough. The adventures I went on with the Hollisters in my childhood….oh to be a kid again!
Hope to see you tomorrow!
