I had a fabulous time at the S’nB meeting last night. What a neat group of women. I think there were a total of 7 of us there, possibly 8, I don’t recall exactly. It is so enjoyable to knit in company. And the seating was very nice. Let’s just say that there won’t be a soft leather couch like that in my house for a very, very long time. Little children and baby soft leather don’t coexist peaceably without incident. I finished the eyelets on Abigail’s backpack. I’m not it love with them, but they are functional, I don’t know how I’d do them better, and I don’t care enough to frog. Did I mention that the first day of school is in ONE WEEK!!!? I can’t believe it. I’m confident that I can have Abby’s bp done by then, but I’m not so sure about Olivia’s. I’m glad she’s too young to read right now because she wouldn’t be happy about what I’m about to say….. I don’t like hers. It bugs me. It is too narrow, too thick, and the straps are a catastrophe. I do believe that once it is all finished and I find a way to get the straps right, I will like it better than I do now. I just don’t see that happening in the next week.

I did laundry and some of Abby’s backpack yesterday, though not enough to make for an exciting picture. You’ll get one anyway. I have just started the experimental eyelets. I’m going with triple yarnovers, and I’m not sure yet if I’m going to slip them a row or not. I think I’ll start out that way, and we’ll see what happens.

(There’s a hole there!)

There is a S’nB group that meets about 30 minutes south of me on Wednesday nights. I was invited awhile ago by Sharlyn, who I have only corresponded with through the blogs, but I have not yet been able to attend. Barring something unforeseen and inconvenient, I plan on going tonight. This will be the first time I’ve been to anything like it and I’m looking forward to it.
