Ok, I know I already posted today, but something incredibly cool just happened, and I want to dance and sing.

I just got dressed (pathetic, I know) and pulled a pair of jeans and a t-shirt out of the pile of clean laundry on my bed. I put them on and noticed as I was walking out of my room that they were extremely loose. Like, 2nd day wearing kind of loose.

I didn’t have time to investigate, as I had to get Veronica to school, but when I came home, I sniffed the laundry to make sure it was in fact a clean load. I continued smelling the clothes, unable to believe that a freshly washed and dried pair of jeans could feel like this on my body, until I came to one of Clark’s shirts. Ah, this will be the absolute, undisputed evidence of clean vs. dirty.

It was clean. Completely clean.

HAPPY DANCE, HAPPY DANCE!! My jeans, which were legitimately getting looser, have still been snug for the first few minutes of wear after a washing.

Not today, Zurg!

So I’m shaking my cosmic thing today. Nothin’ like a little success to boost motivation, eh?

My eyes are faster than my hands. Here are some knits accumulating on my desktop.

This cutie cardigan for Clark

I already have a dark green sport weight alpaca yarn that’d work great, (it was going to be legwarmers for me), but I may wait to get yarn in a light blue. Light blue is an amazing color on him because it really brings out his eyes.

I’m still waiting for the Hempathy to come into my LYS that I ordered for Josephine.

And of course, I have a list of things I want to spin, spin, spin.

And sew.

I’ve been thinking about the summer, and what we’re going to do with all that time…

I’d like to sew with the girls. They’d love it, and I think they’re ready. Where do I start? Are there good sewing books like there are knitting books with simple projects in it? Do you have any to recommend?
