this is fun

I didn’t knit all weekend or on my day off yesterday, but today I got a chance to work on the Francie sock again.
I would be farther along but I forgot my pattern at home today. I’m a little farther than this now, the ribbing along the gusset is showing. Usually I would have all the heel stitches on one needle and instep on the other, but this time it just wasn’t working. I had quite the mess getting the needles shifted, it’s always nice to get a little entertainment value out of my knitting! As the ribbing grows, though, it is looking interesting. This is the part I have been waiting for. The decreases are not done along the gusset but on the bottom of the foot (a la Cat Bordhi?) Loving this sock!
This morning, #1 son and I were watching Leave it to Beaver (our new fun morning activity together) and we heard the microwave door slam shut. We looked at each other and jumped up to see what was going on. The imp was making himself nachos. He grated the cheese “just like mom” and got the chips on the plate and did a great job of evenly spreading the cheese. The smile was priceless. I had made him some yesterday for a little surprise and I guess it was a hit with him. Ahhh, getting more and more independent every day. This is good.
The mama-to-be had an interesting time with her best friend’s 4 year old daughter. “How is that baby coming out?” “Yes, but *how*” Then as she drank water….”Is the baby getting rained on?” We have laughed and laughed. Then she started asking where will the birthday be? At church? At Chuckee Cheese? This is one smart and persistent little girl.
Back to the knitting before bed.
