I hope there are chairs or bleachers or something. The best part is that they'll be in the same class at the same time, so no going back and forth four nights a week like with soccer. Heck, I probably should get my butt out there too for all that. Dan isn't thrilled because he thinks it's too "disciplined and militaristic." Me, I don't go for militaristic either but I think the discipline is exactly what a couple of smart-but-slacker kids need. The kids are starting a new venture tonight.karate. I still have my eyes open, but I can't imagine anything more perfect than the situation I tried for. My mom tells me to be patient, that the gears grind slowly at a public institution, but after a month I have the feeling that it's not going anywhere. At least, I never got called for an interview so I assume it's no-go. So probably over the next few weeks I'll scope out some new blog possibilities, probably just stick with good ol' Blogger but better to see what my options are, and then I'll let anyone who still checks in know where I've gone to. And I kind of don't want to have my main web identity to have the word "scrap" in it anymore.
#Simon says blog free
All my free time and most of my brain space are devoted to knitting now. I've come to the realization, after gradually unsubscribing to most of my digiscrapping newsletters, that I'm probably not a scrapbooker at all anymore. I have a feeling that this blog isn't going to be around for too much longer. Photos of the Cobblestone sweater to follow.I'm guessing it will take several days to dry. A group on Ravelry will be knitting (I think) the Nutkin sock in October, and I'd like to join them.
After that I have two pairs of nearly-complete socks on the needles that I want to finish before October. I know it was dangerous, and I'm going to take a knitting break for the weekend. In fact, for the past four days while the kids were at school I only stopped to eat and do a little laundry. :proud: I was lucky that I didn't seem to strain any muscles in my hands, arms, or back despite the fact that I did a *lot* of knitting with very few breaks. Rebecca did ALL the wrapping ALL by herself. I just want to sleep, but we'll be taking Dan to his favorite diner for dinner and watching him unwrap his gifts. I know he'll appreciate it I just hope he wears it.Īs for me, I'm headachy and bleary-eyed and drained. I just needed to go ahead and wrap it first. But I still need to soak and block it, so I can (I hope) get rid of the saggies and maybe shorten up the sleeves a bit. And even though it's a size large, it fits me like an XXL. Now I'll grant you, the sweater has monkey arms. It's finished, and just in time for his birthday party tonight. And today at 2:48 pm I wove in the last end. Four straight days (and half the nights) of nothing but knitting that darn sweater for Dan.
