An ordinary day, thank God.

Yesterday was a bit rough with a crabby tired Mommy/Auntie (that's what the two I look after during the week call me) and three toddlers all in "MINE!!" mode I'm so glad for a quiet day today. I only have one extra toddler today and they seem to have decided to play well together so far. Whew.

I have actually managed to get a bit of knitting done. A test square for the Thrum Mittens my SP sent me. I love the colours. I love how there are little bits of pinks and reds popping up here and there. Once I get to the part where I start adding in the pencil roving it's going to look really pretty and colourful.


I got close enough to tension (1 st over, 2 rows under). I know, I know. I should test again with different needles. I'm not going to. I like a roomy mitten and with the bits of roving inside, I think that I'll like the extra room I'll get with a slightly larger st tension. Another washcloth. I frogged the one I originally knit with this yarn because it wouldn't quit leaning so now I'm using Turkish Stitch inside a 3 st garter border. Much better.


I tried to take a picture of the Moon and clouds last night. My ancient camera hates not being able to use the flash. I hope that this is a sky for Halloween. It makes me think that a witch on a broomstick will fly past anytime and bats are swooping and darting about. Hopefully not too near me though. What are you dressing you/your kids as?


Look, look, look! Right there, a sunflower!! A real live sunflower that I grew from a seed, all by myself! I jumped up and down when I saw this. I'm pathetically easy to please.


Hey lady, wanna see me jump up and down? Kick that soccer ball. Come on, kick it, already.


Lorinda could use a kind word or two. Go over there and give her a bit of a pick-me-up would ya? Thanks all.
