Knitting and painting and stuff

I had to rip back the toe to add about 6 rounds to Clark’s first sock. It’s not done yet, but it’s very close.

He tries it on periodically, and when I asked him how it felt he said, “warm.” This yarn has alpaca in it, so I bet it’s warm.

I started a cozy house shawl yesterday…

I’ve wanted to knit this pattern for years, and I’m finally getting around to it.

Liv also knit this weekend

She’s making a slouchy hat that isn’t going to end up being as slouchy as she’d hoped, but she doesn’t want to rip it out and redo.

On Saturday, Nate, Liv, Veronica and Clark painted on canvases.

And just now, I turned around to find Max making use of a roll of toilet paper on the couch.

Abby and I are sick. Our family’s been sick for 6 months now, ok 5, and I’m really, really tired of it.
