Be-Bop is home sick today. We’re just home from the doctor and he’s got a not-contagious but miserable-feeling sinus infection. So, we’re entertaining ourselves inside on what’s a beautiful day outside.
He wanted to practice spelling this morning and here are the words he picked out and spelled himself, with some very minor help from mom:
Be-Bop spelled “exit” all by himself. We worked on “Georgia” together. “Volcano,” he only needed to know if it was a “c” or a “k” in the middle. And he knew “ow” or “ou” should be in the middle of “south.” I was impressed!
While Be-Bop takes a nap this afternoon, I’ll be knitting. I’ve gotten into knitting scarves out of Red Heart Boutique Sashay lacy yarn because I seem to have no patience whatsoever enough to knit other patterns right now. Of course, it’s getting warmer, so there won’t be a call for scarves for a while. Just means that I’ve got time to stock up! Here are some of the colors I picked up last week:
Yummy!
And here’s the one I hope to finish today:
so very soft…
I didn’t believe it when I first started them, but these scarves are so simple to make. You just work the top of the yarn, casting on your number of stitches, and just plain knit-stitch until it’s done. I’ve cast on 8 stitches for the example above, but you can cast on what you want, depending on how long the scarf should be. I finished my second scarf in about 3 1/2 hours, which makes it a record-time knitting project for me!
Of course, it’s just like me to have play time before work time. By the time J gets home from work and Rock Steady is home from preschool, it will be time for dinner and some housework. I never can resist playtime first!
