RECAP: My daughter’s friend asked me (through Laura) to knit her a sweater from the recent Vogue Knitting. I did tell Laura today that I would not be making her a sweater. She seemed okay with that answer.Â
Instead, we are having a knit night at our house this evening. Movies, snacking and knitting. Laura and I shopped for yarn for both of the friends that are coming over and will help them with their scarves. That seemed like a fun compromise.
As far as MY knitting goes, it isn’t. I have not been getting much done lately. Too much going on and not enough energy to go around. Tonight I won’t get too much done because Laura’s friends are a bit needy and I do want to help them.Â
IF I make any progress on anything, I’ll post more and some pictures. I’m just in a lull at the moment. Ever have those days??
Absolutely! In fact, I’m having one of those weeks 🙁
Sounds like a good compromise. Hopefully, she’ll take to knitting and want to knit it herself!

Lulls come and (luckily) lulls go. When it is time, you will knit. In the meantime, help Laura’s friends and eat some popcorn. Good job on the compromise.

“Ever”? How about always! 😉 Nice compromise on your part, this way she’ll eventually be able to make that sweater herself! And we know how good that feels!

I’m in a lull — I’ve got a cold and I just ripped out all of the knitting I did this afternoon. Lace + drugs = uh oh.

I’ve had those dayeeks, and sometimes even those months! And when I’m in that mode, I so
totally miss my knitting. Now, I will be leaving on tues. for Texas. I am SO stressed that
I am going to have some type of problem taking my knitting on the plane (never had one before) but
since you can’t even take a bottle of H2O, I may have a problem with pointy objects. I have a few
plans up my sleeve. Anyway can you imagine being on a plane for 3 1/2 hours without knitting? 🙁
I look forward to your photos, YOU ARE INSPIRING!

You are such a fantastic Mom. Give a woman a sweater and she is warm for a day;
teach a woman to knit, and she is warm for a lifetime.
