I don’t quite know how the kids like the Wii yet, by the time I got it set up last night it was bedtime, but I’m digging it.¬† Kat and I played with Wii Sports until well past that time and she did pretty well.¬† After the monkeys were in bed, I started to give mom a quick lesson in Wii-ness.¬† Yeah, two and a half hours later we shut it off having routed through several games of bowling (mom was in a league for years and I played on the high school team), tennis and baseball.¬† I trounced her in bowling while she got back at me with a KO in boxing 
¬† The twins should really like that one!¬† I suspect they’ll all be playing a bit today as today is their last non-school Thursday for a while to come.
Just to prove I’m not all electronics and video games, I am still knitting.¬† Dacapo has been my commuting buddy recently though I am getting somewhat bored by all that freakin’ garter stitch on small needles.¬† Here she is lounging along the river this morning:
I had to buy her a longer needle as all those little stitches wouldn’t stay on the needles.¬† Every time I pulled the sucker out of my bag, I had to repair the last couple.¬† I’m using a 40″ now and it is helping a bit, though if I’m not extremely careful and shove her to the middle of the needles, I lose a few still.¬†
I know some folk were seriously surprised by Jessica’s pronouncement of the end of her sock honeymoon.¬† Regulars around here might have noticed that I lost my sock mojo around the end of the summer too.¬† Which is sad, because I really do like knitting socks and I, um, do have a bit of sock yarn around.¬†
What’s this?
Embryonic socks.¬† Koigu.¬† Yum.¬† I picked this up from Modern Yarn a few weeks back when they got their first batch of it.¬† Sorry, don’t have the color number with me, but its on the other skein at home.¬† I’m casting on a pair today.¬† It will be one of four patterns:¬† Charade, I Love Gansey (from the six socks knitalong), Hedera (again) or plain old vanila socks.¬†¬† I’m thinking Gansey.
Tonight is the much loved SnB so the gaming consoles, but not the knitting, will be ignored by me 
Craft on!
