yes...it sucks! I remember alternating a lot during it all and I gave up on caring

Well, when child has the chest size of a 3yo, it doesn't magicaly work out even though it sounds good on paper to have "growing room". ribbit, ribbit

I can barely type let alone knit today We were thinking of attempting another "snow" activity, but DH doesn't like the idea of waiting in line with the boys..so we'll probably hit up a Christmas craft fair then go to the light parade and C's art award presentation at city hall. So proud of my munchkin!

way to go C!

I was looking for some AG stuff, but dont think I'll be spending $75 on stuff.


back from polar express breakfast with Santa. Steven did awesome, Emily was screaming oops! But that was what Steven did too at her age, so I saw it coming.

About to get Steven ready for the bday party, and then head to CB....haven't heard from Mindy yet Got your package all ready for drop off

oh and I got over excited with Em's pants that I knit too long I'm 2" too long to do the gusset of 14st. But if I do the same 12st gusset like the m/l then I'm good.

She is still planning on meeting you. I talked to her for a second this morning and then she got quiet so I assume she was getting ready to go? I do know that you are a lucky woman and I'm slightly jealous.

I would do the shorter guesset and then just make wider legs if you need to.

Do that.

So, it's 10 degrees out and supposed to get to 21 today. That's a 30-39 degree improvement from what we have been seeing.

The stitch marker is from RB. It's a tester so if you have feedback, or suggestions, we'd love to hear them.

I had grand plans of making note of who sent what but then it was 1 AM and I had no pen or paper so I just said it and threw them in the mail. If you text me a pic I can tell you who sent what!

[msuk2girl]

Yeah I thought of marking mine... that didn't happen.
