Tis the season of uploading photos of my knitting. The Todder and I did a photo shoot of her new hat - which mostly consisted of a series of blurry photos of the back of her shoulder. But here are the few that did turn out.

And also - my legwarmers. Knit from the Old Piggery's sock wool, which is lovely. I finished these last winter and here is the first documentation of them. But I can vouch that they're comfy under boots and useful in a dance studio.

Dinner date

My dinner date the other night. I discovered several things:

A) I no longer need blinds in the sunroom. Who needs curtains when your sweet peas and cherry tomatoes have clearly taken some kind of steroid and created a Where the Wild Things are forest? I do feel like Max in his room when everything starts turning green and growing upwards at a fantastic rate. Perhaps we'll have a Wild Rumpus.

B) Toddlers make great dinner dates. They gladly are entertained by making their own pizza, and can even talk to you about their day (in bursts). But mostly, I like them because they understand that sometimes, silence is better. Focus on the food. Just chewing, and wild plant-jungle.

It was a lovely evening.

Handknits.

Alas, my post-every-day plan has been thwarted by some strange google behaviour, so this is several days late. The Toddler, in two recent knitting projects. Both are garter stich, raglan, top-down cardigans, but one is a wrap-around. She loves them. Thank goodness.
