Olivia is doing very well on her stocking. I knit the heel flap and turned it for her, and she and I both knit the gusset. Now she’s on the foot, about 17 rows from the toe decreases. We need to start charting an angel pretty quick.

Last night after Clark fell asleep (or while he was crying himself to sleep. I couldn’t hold him one more minute by the end of the day. I was done. And he is feeling better, thank you) I wove in the ends on the argyle stocking.

It looks ok. The back of the leg bulges out right above the heel flap and it really irritates me, but other than that, it’s alright. I need to mess with the seam where the rounds meet each other to try to even out some stitches, but I’ll probably start the duplicate stitch first.

The ornament I broke and then bought again on eBay arrived

I’m not an “owl person” specifically, but this little guy looks just like the main character in an adorable series of books that Nate and the girls love.

While I was at Fred Meyer looking for more sheep ornaments like the one I posted a few days ago, I saw this

It’s a moose! Few of you will know why this means something to me, but for those that do…. It’s a MOOSE!

I bought all three, along with the only sheep they had, which brings me up to two.

Finally, if any of you spinning enthusiasts want to see something amazingly strange, take a look at this! You need to look at all the pictures to really understand what you’re looking at. I have to wonder if whoever made this was making a fashion statement or trying to in some way preserve an old wheel that had meant something to them. In any case, wow.
