Almost there….

(stay on target).

I’m very, very close to completing the remaining piece of the VCC.

I hope I enjoy knitting Cable-Eight this much. I have grand plans for some serious modifications to the pattern. More on that tomorrow.

In other news… At church last Sunday, we arrived almost early. This meant we got to sit closer to the front than usual, but more importantly, it meant we got there in time for the soft, padded chairs. This is a good thing. We usually arrive a few minutes late when all the soft chairs and padded pews are taken and we get stuck on the cold, metal folding chairs in the way back. Aside from being less than comfortable, they are also slightly slanted, which means the crayons the girls are coloring with perpetually roll off the back and land in a purse belonging to someone sitting behind us. It’s a pain.

Side note- there was a time, shortly after the girls learned to knit, that the three of us would be quietly knitting in the very back of the congregation, disturbing no one. Unfortunately, they got bored with that. Maybe it’s the excitement of rolling crayons.

Anyway, this last Sunday, being in a different area than usual, we were sitting in front of a really old couple that we don’t usually sit by. They were right behind us, and apparently found the girls entertaining. I received a call yesterday afternoon from the wife, who asked me if I’d like to have the two dollhouses and accompanying furniture that she and her husband made for their grandchildren many years ago, as their grandchildren are all grown. I said yes. Click the link to see what I came home with.
