Graduations also leave little time for knitting

Sorry, I’m going to be boring today. All I did knitting-wise was a couple more swatches for the Gayle socks. I tried a stitch called honeycomb, because I’ve always wanted to try it. There are two rows out of 16 that are cable rows, and it didn’t turn out nearly cool enough to warrant that much effort. Next, I tried that garter slip stitch I like so much that I used on these hats. It’s pretty, but I want something bigger. So next I think I’m going to try a garter stitch check pattern, which looks a lot like a checkerboard. I still haven’t decided.

Thank you all so much for the responses to my inquiry about sideways socks. I haven’t ruled that out yet, I’m going to look at the patterns suggested.

SO, Wednesday was Olivia’s preschool graduation. She is in a small, co-op preschool that rotates from house to house.

She was very excited. And no, that’s not me.

Yesterday, Abigail graduated from kindergarten. Holy cow, what a to do it was!

And finally, Bergan, this is for you!

(Bergan has seen Abigail online and asked his mom why he wasn’t on the internet.)

Remember, tomorrow is Health Group day. I am really looking forward to it.

    Congrats on the big days for the girls! I know you must get sooo tired of hearing how adorable your girls are (yeah right), but they really are very beautiful. Has your husband been shotgun shopping yet? *giggle* He might wanna watch out for that Bergen too, hes a cutie! Looking forward to the Health Group posts tomorrow!!!

    Yes, the husband is very aware of the need to develop imposing glares and creative threats in the next, oh, 8 years or so. Thanks. I think they’re pretty cute, too.

    Bergan said,”Wow-that’s me. Thanks Abby’s mom”
    And Bergan’s mom says, “Thanks, I think he’s pretty cute too! ” He’s had girls calling since preschool.
    We are still wondering about the sideways socks.
