Today is Yarn Rascal’s third birthday and I want to wish him a happy birthday. Later today the yarn vault will be wide open and he can play among the yarns for a little while under my watchful eye.
The snow has arrived. And as always, from my big mouth to the ears of powers-that-be, we are getting a lot more than expected. So much for the storm hugging the New York City area. I haven’t had time to dig out the car and take it for a test drive as I’ve been busy shoveling for Yarn Rascal. He gets very excited when it snows so this is like an extra birthday present for him. He goes out as a dog and comes back in as a large snowball with four little legs.
Work has begun on the Feeling’ Groovy baby sweater. Not actual knitting, but a review of the numbers and the selection of technique for the color work. Reading about facings and deciding whether they will be knitted on or sewn on using grosgrain ribbon is today’s goal. I don’t like the idea of the ribbon in the neck area for a number of reasons, but mostly because it will lack the stretch the area needs. The facing must be decided before I start to knit.
Once again, I’d like to say Happy Birthday Little One. I couldn’t do this cancer thing without you, my little angel.
Happy Birthday Yarn Rascal – best thing we ever did huh, becoming mumma’s to our little fellows!! xoxo
Happy Birthday YR! (and all the best for your health)
Yarn Rascal says, “Thank you”
absolutely the best thing. They bring us such joy and laughter.
He is going to LOVE his time in the vault. Sorry you got dumped on in the snow category. Amazingly it missed us completely. No complaints here!
Lucky! But I brought it on myself. I scoffed and complained that we were only getting 3 inches. Instead we got 14″. The car did real well. It go me to the main roads just fine.
I am glad the car did well – I hope it didn’t; talk to you the whole time. I can hear it now, sounding like Dad teaching me to drive. “Ease off on the gas, NO DON’T BRAKE! That’s it, take it easy around the curve…steer INTO the skid. Oh for crying out loud, let me drive, will you?” 🙂
If it starts doing that, I am removing its vocal cords.
