Bribery

We have some prizes coming in for Mitts for Mary, besides my koigu.

Stephanie is offering some lovely handmade soaps.

Nada is contributing 4 ounces of custom dyed bluefaced leicester wool yarn!

Pamela is giving a lucky winner choice of her patterns.

Thanks so much for the support. Now we need some knitters!

When I was photographing the blue faroese shawl last week, I noticed little marks on my windowsills in the dining room.

Clark loves to stand at these windows and watch the world. Now I see he’s chewing on the cedar in the windowsill. Chewing on it. The teeth marks go all the way across both windows. My dog used to chew on wood and I thought that when he went to his wonderful new home, we’d be done with this. My girls didn’t chew on wood. At spinning group last week, a few women said that their sons chewed on wood as well.

What’s the deal?

Is it a gender thing more than a genus thing?

    Ahhh…I remember the chewing. My middle son did that but the 2 others didn’t. So I don’t know what to tell ya. Maybe he’s just teetching and needs some relief and the window sill is just at the right size. I had chew marks on chairs and the crib rail.

    On to mitts! I started them last night. They are quite colorful. I took pics and they are up on my blog :o) These will be nice and quick. Gotta love that :o)

    My youngest some still puts EVERYTHING in his mouth. He will be turning 5 in November. One person tried to explain it to me as boys are more hands on and need to use more of their senses to grasp things. I still think it is yuckie.
