the blue blog archives: sunny day

It was a beautiful day here in Columbus yesterday and it would have been silly to waste it sitting inside playing games, so we went to the zoo. B's favorite thing at the zoo had to be the old carousel. S was a little afraid of it, so he just watched as B rode again and again. Oh yean, we even saw a few animals!

And while the boys slept off the excitement of the zoo trip, I finished the back of the Rebecca tank. Not terribly exciting, but I like those neat decreases a few stitches in from the edge and I am still absolutely madly in love with the yarn. And with the weather so nice here, I'm starting to be able to imagine myself wearing my little tank soon!

I'm interested in your boys' distinct personalities ,and aren't they growing up quickly. Sometimes I'd like to slow down the progression to ''big boy'' !
Top is looking lovely - you'll be wearing it before you go home !

I am impressed that you are posting from the road. By what you are wearing, it looks like you have warm temps. It got very cold (again) in New England. Enjoy the convention.

This has nothing to do with your current entry. :-) I stumbled on to a referance to your Elizabeth III sweater earlier this week, and read your whole saga yesterday. Wow! And the sweater looks beautiful. I'd love to make one like it, but the knitting three times over sounds a bit daunting. I think I'd better wait until I'm knitting more consistantly overall. But it's there in my head tempting me.

And as I try to knit anything with one small child, I become even more impressed by those of you who are managing to turn out amazing projects with *two* small children.

Somehow I missed the part about you being able to update from the road, so when I accidentally clicked on your link, expecting you to still be on vacation, I was extra happy to find a post! And such a great day at the zoo, too! And penguins! I looove penguins!
Oh, and the knitting looks great, too :)

I'm kicking myself for not reading your blog recently. Are you still in Columbus, by any chance? (I live in Columbus.) There is a fabulous yarn store here, not too far from the convention center. I know you'd love it. Email me for details if you're still in town.
