4 Years Ago

I had a brand new baby girl named Kayin. She was short and fat and so beautiful! Today she turned 4 and to celebrate we went to Chuck E. Cheese and spent way too much money on their overpriced greasy pizza, but had a lot of fun playing the games. Both girls ended up being able to get some fun things with their tickets and everyone who came enjoyed themselves. The pictures are on my sister's camera, so as soon as I get them I will post them on here.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAYIN GIRL!

Checking In and a Little About Knitting

Sorry about not posting for a few days. This week has been a little hectic. I've been working on a research essay for my english class and doing some research for my group presentation in my communications class. I was planning on posting tonight when I got home from knit night but poor Ananzi woke up with a fever and was up and down a few times being sick and needing a drink and taking medicine. She's sleeping now and I hope she gets a really good night sleep. I'm going to keep her home from school tomorrow, so that means she'll get a four day weekend because they already don't have school on Monday.

I really can't wait to get a new camera because I finished my first pair of toe up socks and they turned out great! I really like the technique and plan on making many more pairs. I got the pattern out of Wendy Johnson's Socks From the Toe Up. I really like the book and can't wait to make another pair.

My next project is going to be the Man's Cable Cardigan from the Winter Vogue Knitting magazine (pg 59). I started the gauge swatch tonight and I am loving the yarn already. It's Ella Rae Superwash in taupe. Jake really likes how it looks. I can't wait to get started on the actual sweater!
