I’ve been at work all day – ugh. (Don’t get me wrong… I like my job – I would just rather be knitting.) I’ve also spent most of the day thinking about how excited I was about my new blog and about having a whole evening to knit.
My grandmother:
She hasn’t been feeling very well. I fear she won’t be with us much longer. (She’s a knitter too.) Memère gave me a little project that she doesn’t have the strength to finish. It’s a little shrug (sort of an odd little thing). I have to add 6 inches then do a sleeve cuff. So, that’s what I’m doing tonight. Then, maybe I can go see her on Wednesday and give it to her with the little socketts I made her. She’s made a million things for all the grand-kids over the years and I really wanted to make something for her.
Other than that, I’m looking forward to my holidays next week. Scott and I are heading to El Salvador for a whole seven days. It’s sort of an unusual place to travel right? Well, leave it to me to find it. I think Scott’s worried. He doesn’t have my sense of adventure. Poor guy. I should really try to take it easy on him. He likes to stand still and I like to run amok (it’s more fun like that). When I booked the trip, the travel guy told me that I would love it; that he had heard some pretty fantastic things about El Salvador. Woohoo. I can’t wait.
I have to start my friends’ baby’s christening gown! (see gown here) She’s due in May. I’m guessing that gives me until June (at least). And, because he’ll be a summer baby, I can make the jumper part as shorts rather than full-body. There’s no negotiating the size of the layette (I think that’s what the dress part is called.) That should shave a few days off.
Vacation knitting then? Socks = small, light, portable and relatively easy depending on the pattern.
I’m off! Salut les amis…
