A (somewhat) happy post!!!

Well, they left, and I'm suffering from withdrawal symptoms. We're going over to Canada during Thanksgiving break like we were last year, but last year, my passport expired on the day we were leaving, so my mom and I stayed back. I can't wait.

After we took them to the airport, we went to church, where I cast on for the Fetching gloves I was going to make for Bethany. Some of the kids were watching as I knit, and not only had they wanted to learn, they also wanted me to make Fetchings for them. I have so much knitting to be done, and so little time to do it. What am I going to do?

That night, we went to Walmart, where I got a swimsuit and some yarn. It is for an Elmo washcloth I want to make for Sam (mostly for my mom to give him baths with), as a 4.5 yr old birthday gift. The 4.5 yr old celebration is a family tradition...it means having to sleep in your own room, because we are late bloomers. Maybe Sam will actually want to take baths...if it were with Elmo. It is a lovely skein of Peaches and Creme.



This morning, I finally finished the seaming for the cardigan. The collar is an inch short, but I managed to stretch it out. This is a picture I snapped while I was seaming it; the actual sweater just went through some major blocking because it is too small.



I'm so glad the knitting (and the boring hours of seaming) is done. Hopefully I can wear it out soon.
