One Crazy Fiber Lady

Just another Monday

June 22nd, 2009 · 7 Comments

That’s the best I can say about it. ¬†It is indeed Monday. ¬†And its not raining. ¬†Yet. ¬†Definitely time to start planning out the ark construction and making a list of what to pack. ¬†Oh well.

This weekend was another one of those busy kinds. ¬†My sister stayed at the house with her two little ones. ¬†I’m out of practice with a 2yo and a 6mo old :) ¬†The little one is a remarkably easy baby that seems to have a big old toothless smile plastered to her face. ¬†Sweet little thing. ¬†The older one is a spitfire. ¬†FUNNY. ¬†SMART. ¬†But boy does she have a temper. ¬† Alex and dad were seriously outnumbered this weekend by the girls, their normal 3 to 2 disadvantage was doubled to 6/2.

It was nice to spend the time with them. ¬†We’ve made plans for me to come out and stay with her the weekend after July 4th. ¬†I’ll get to spend more time with my baby sister and my nieces while my son will get some boy time with his uncle. ¬†Its all good.

Needless to say, I did have much time to knit.  I did make some progress on the new sock though.  Here she is on the ferry this morning..

    Nothing wrong with a house full of women.

    The sock is looking good!

    Happy Monday!

    All those women are good training…for both Alex and your Dad (men always need more training).

    My dad was seriously outnumbered in our house ever since my sister was born … alllll the way up until Chappy came along. That’s a long time! I figure it was good for him, though.

    looks like the sock likes this pattern!
    We always outnumbered the boys in my place. 4 to 2.

    That’s a heckuva lot of progress!

    I can’t remember if you’re coming up this weekend for the stitch & spin…?

    p.s. As you know, R is totally outnumbered. Even after Dobby moves out, the girls will rule. ;op

    The rain, yeesh, if it weren’t for knitting I would be like Munch’s Scream.
