On the fence

I can't seem to make up my mind about these socks. Sometimes I like the colour, other times, not so much. But they are really thick and warm so they are definite keepers.

Pattern: Basic sock pattern

Yarn: A swell yarn shop duet sock yarn in Bethany

Needles: US#2.5 bamboo dpns

Do you see what I see?

Can you see the man wearing a hat in my bathroom tile?

Well I can and his beady little eyes are starting to creep me out!

OMG!!!!!

How cool is this?

Some children's parents

Last night at Mackenzie's hockey practice I was waiting for him in the lobby of the sports center. There is a couple of chairs there with a coffee table between them covered in magazines. A woman with a 2 year old was also waiting and her little guy kept taking the magazines onto the floor looking at them.

No big deal.

Except for when her older kid came out and she got up to leave and carefully tiptoed through the mess of magazines and left.

What the heck?

She left the mess there.

Two seconds later my friends five year old came along and started talking a blue streak to me.

What was I knitting? His hockey team wasn't doing so good. He is the best skier ever, etc. etc.

While he babbled incessantly and my brain went into overdrive trying to keep up I noticed that without missing a beat he had picked up and put away all the magazines.

Before I could even thank him he was gone again.

Interesting.

What kind of parent are you?

Opposites

Outside.



Inside.






Guess which I prefer.

Have I ever told you how much I despise winter? Cause I really, really do. It is sucking the life right out of me.

Super Bowl Sunday

Do we know how to party or what?
