A week in review.

ok, let's catch up.

Tuesday I took Jess to her first movie. We saw curious George and she had a wonderful time.

Wednesday we went to Brookfield Zoo. Again, a good time was had. Jess really liked the Bison, and the sea lions and walruses in the underwater viewing.

Wednesday night we were all up as she was ill all night and then feverish all day Thursday.

Today we are all much better. Although Jess woke up a bit before I did and now my glasses are missing. Thank goodness a have a few spare, especially since my contacts perscription now calls for really uncomfortable and expensive lenses.

Jess admits to playing with them, but cannot seem to tell me where they are. But she has decided to reward herself for her good behavior this week. (Note to self: Self, NEVER leave the reward stickers out.)

Ok, onto sock progress.

One sockpal sock almost ready for the toe. I can't seem to get a decent picture, so you'll have to wait on that one.

One little girls petticoat sock. (I love this pattern. It's in Weekend Knitting, in case you are wondering.)

Also, I have started Pullover Flair from spring IK, but I'm only about 2 inches into it. I'm ujsing some patons classic merino I had in the stash.

I meant to update you a some knitterly progress, but Jess came down with some sort of stomach bug last night, so we're all trying to get some rest. Hope to have apost for tomrrow.

And Now For Something Completely Different...

...for my sockpal. I feared that the River Rapids I was working on might be too lacy for my pal, so I have scraped them. I have opted instead for some handpainted Koigu and Tuulia's Green sock pattern. Which was originally brought to my attention by Laura.

I'm very pleased with them so far, but I'm nor sure if I want to continue the pattern stitch down the heel or not. If not, I was thinking of making a plain heel in a solid color. What do y'all think?

Insert Clever Title Here

Stepdad is well, but in a good amount of pain. (Understandably) He has asked that we not visit him yet. He's not ready for visitors.

Today is the start of Jess' Spring Break. Please excuse the lack of knitting that will commence this week.

I did work on somethings this weekend though.


Finished Sweet Mary Janes for my SIL. The yarn is Wooly stripes, and Lambs Pride.

Jess' mini sweater for her Easter dress. Yarn is Baby Ull. I still need to weave in ends and sew on buttons.

Still plugging away at all these socks I have on the needles, but nothing picture worthy yet.
