In a very rare two-fer posting day, here’s the second
I had the computer, cameras and a free block of tv time. Figured it was time for a real posting.
First up, a couple of finished objects. No time to toss em in the album if i want to finish this before Hell’s Kitchen starts.

The knee socks in the STR Silkie – Walk on the Wild Tide colorway. I actually finished them Thursday before Memorial Day Weekend. I just got around to taking the photo. In th end, each sock took me about a week to finish. I got both socks out of the one 100g skein of the very yummy and highly recommended Silkie.
In the quickie pile is this baby blocking last night. It is a Flower Basket Shawl (small/shoulderette size) in one skein of Louet Gems fingering weight, Crabapple Blossom color. I started it Thursday at the SnB and finished it yesterday. I needed something pink
Do you think the spinning thing is genetic? I’m really glad I have multiple wheels. Not to mention these folk are providing a use for the DT wheels!
Just to show that I do provide these children with the proper clothing! I do have to admit that they both wound up in the pool quite naked not to much after these pictures.
And for some excellent news. The boy is potty trained! Woot! He went for the first time, the Thursday before Cummington (too tired to dig out the calendar). He skipped using the potty for the rest of the holiday weekend but started back up late Monday. Surprisingly on Tuesday, he went to school wearing panties! And didn’t have any accidents!!! He’s been in panties since with a minimal number of accidents! (Except he did pee on my bedroom floor this evening but we won’t mention that.)
He started going potty the same day that he got that big boy summer buzz cut. Maybe it was the haircut. Maybe it was going in the pool later that same day that spurred him on. Whatever it was, amen!
Time to go relax with my knitting and Hell’s Kitchen. Not too sure what the computer situation will be tomorrow as we’re going FIOS. We’ll see if I can get my wifi devices back online. Down side is that the conversion is happening before the final episode of the Sopranos next week. Should I add that we aren’t getting HBO? Crap. It’s going to be a L O N G wait for the DVD’s
Craft on!
