Scrap Socks

This is so far on the scrap socks.  This is one bit of scrap, having started at both ends of the ball I have got a lot further than I expected.   It's just about the length I need before I put the heel yarn in. 

So stay tuned for the next instalment of scraps.

Thursday Thanks

• School Holidays!  Yay!
• Nice balance of holidays & extra work time.  
• Learning new knitting techniques, even if I don't like them.
• Running into friends in random places.  Some people are just meant to be in your lives aren't they?  
• Family members that take care of one another at the drop of a hat.  
• Grandparents who babysit the boys.

Pillow Time

Another party! 

Another pillow!

Grandma Lyn came to play games with the boys.  I got to whip this one up.

Exploring

One of our favourite shops re-opened this week.  It burned down 2 years ago.  They were in temporary premises until the new place was done.  Which it is now.  

So we checked out the new store!   

Starting with Alice in Wonderland's little door!  

Humpty was a hit! 














The dragon was scary!  Tall too! 

Why Stop At One?

New challenge finally...

I gave this a try today.  Two at a time socks.  It's great.  Easy as.  I don't know that I would like to try it with some fancy pattern though. 

Also stash busting left over sock yarn while I go.  I have both socks started from either end of a left over ball.  So it will be interesting to see how far up this sock this one goes. 

Stay tuned...

Lego Play

The local library put on a Lego time in the school holidays.  It was quite good.  The boys have a lot of lego themselves but it is always nice to play with some different pieces & also to play with other people. 





It can become a little competitive in that sort of environment so it was interesting to watch. 

BJ made a marble maze.  All the kids were interested in it & had a turn of it.  He liked that.

Our Rocks

A good day to spend some time colouring rocks.  DJ got into it big time.  

BJ took a little longer & put more thought into each design. 
That's him I suppose.

Admittedly, I did it too. 

Lucky for me, the boys have some learn to draw books with step by step pictures.  I used those.  I had fun. 

 They just need to be sealed now.  That will happen in a few days.
