Ok…points it is

I frogged the shawl.  I planned to make a different shawl, read the pattern and decided I didn’t feel like fooling around with a provisional cast-on today, especially since I don’t have a crochet hook handy.  I surfed many, many sites looking for something else to knit.  Then I thought what a waste of time…this pattern has the edging knit right into it and the points didn’t look so bad after all.  I re-started it and got almost back to where I had been with very little effort.  I had one funny spot in it before so now that is gone.  Now I don’t plan on filling this blog with pictures of the little imp, but (don’t laugh) he had on a white shirt and I thought it was the best background I could find in the late afternoon light.  He was totally bored and bugged that he had to pose.  The first pic with the smile didn’t show the pattern at all. 

We had a great day.  The kids were all home together and that was fun.  Hubby sang a beautiful song at church this morning and I came home and started dinner after first service.  It was done by the time he got home.  We had the egg hunt for the little imp…he is quite entertaining every year.  We’re still hiding the eggs in pretty obvious places but he tends to only see them one at a time and then laughingly scolds us for putting them there.  He especially got a kick out of the one on the turntable of daddy’s record player (turned on of course!).  We had to get dinner out of the way early so our oldest daughter could get to her fiance’s dinner at 5.  I don’t miss those days…glad to stay home. 

Here’s a picture of our oldest and youngest together.

I do hope everyone had a great day.  Happy Easter!

    I love that the border is knitted on as you go, and I think the pattern is lovely. That pic of your two kids is very sweet.

    There was a certain sense of “ohcrapohcrapohcrapohcrap” as I was cutting, and I’m still a little in shock. Now I want to get it finished as quickly as possible, lest everything unravel before I can get it all together.

    Happy Easter, and I love your new blog home! This feels good, and I love the font on your header. (I’m a font nut! – you can never have enough fonts!) Can’t wait to see the shawl too.
