| Graham for Cam |
This is a horrendous photo but it's what I have for right now. This was taken right after I finished weaving in the ends...which means it's unblocked, unwashed, and it was dark outside. Oh well. I still owe an FO Friday for the mittens so maybe I'll make it a two-fer.

6. Waiting for Winter Mittens - Jazzlynn: started November 11, 2014
Upon finishing up the hat pictured above, I started the next portion of my Christmas knitting: mittens and a hat for Cameron's younger sister, Jazzlynn. So far, I've finished the first mitten and started the second. I've also decided what hat I'm going to make, though I haven't started it yet (I could, I just haven't).
The only other thing I spent any time on this week was my swatch. Yeah, the swatch. It's easy 1x1 ribbing but...you know...it's frickin' boring. And, to be honest, I have other things I need to finish first. Buuuuuuuuttttttttttttt........I needed something mindless and, at the time, that was it. So, I've worked a bit on that.
This past Friday, I was able to head across the bay to Alameda for Kid-Friendly Knitting...that helped immensely with the finishing of the hat. I need to get out more often with the boys...to places where I can knit and not have to watch
So, aside from finishing the hat, starting the next pair of mittens, and working on a swatch, that's all the knitting I did. I also sold some yarn via my Ravelry Destash. I still need to get to the post office to ship it out but that's another issue. I'll probably do that tomorrow :)

In other "real life" news....
Both Little Man and Stormageddon had doctor appointments this week...on the same day...and both got vaccinations...
Little Man, age four years, weighed 39.75 lbs and was 42.25" tall...which translates to the 90th percentile for height and 87th percentile for weight. In other words, he's big for his age. Stormageddon, age ten weeks (at the time), weighed 12 lbs, 12 oz and was 23.5" tall...which translates to the 50th percentile for both height and weight. He's perfectly average for his age.
And then came the vaccinations. Little Man had been begging for his "pokeys" for over a week and a half at that point. Yes, my child wanted to get his shots. And then came the time...and I had to help hold him and he cried and then he was fine. Stormageddon just took it because he didn't know any better. He cried, I cuddled him, put him in the car seat, and he went to sleep. Then I took Little Man out for hot dogs and ice cream. Stormageddon, of course, came along but he slept through it all, which was not unexpected.
Other things that happened this week....cleaning up from Little Man's birthday party and digging in my yarn closet. I did some readjusting and was able to get most of my newer purchases into an actual Rubbermaid bin and out of bags/off the floor. That was exciting. I've been needing to do something in there for awhile and I was able to take a little time to do it.
Ummmmmmm.....what else what else what else......oh, we're caught up on The Blacklist (well, Husband is caught up and I've seen enough of them to have the gist of what's going on). Oh, and I've officially seen three episodes of this season of Doctor Who (the first one and the last two). ::sigh:: The joys of having a small child...
Anyway, I believe I should stop rambling for the moment. I hope you've all had a lovely weekend and week and all that. I really need to get in and do a FO Friday...
That's funny that he wanted his shots! Why? I hope life settles down for you a bit....and congrats on the finish...
ReplyDeleteThe hat is lovely, well done it sounds as though you got loads done this week. The older little man gets the more you will be able to get out and have me time!!
ReplyDeleteIt's all go go go some weeks isn't it and well done on getting in a finish amongst all that busy. Little Man makes me smile at wanting his shots and I'm glad it all went smoothly and keep getting out to places during the day, it's good.
ReplyDeleteI haven't started watching the Blacklist yet, but I hear it's good! I've added it to my list. You're making great progress on your Christmas knits!
ReplyDeleteThat is a terrific hat. It's great how you're naturally out and about. My little one cries before the pediatrician even touches her.
ReplyDeleteLovely FO, the hat looks really cozy. :)
