pressies! Presents going out.
I finished up the sugar 'n cream washcloths for my great aunts. Hope they like them! I've still got enough yarn left to make about four more (as long as I start alternating which color goes in the center). Presents coming in.
My secret pal sent me this cute little sheep, along with a funny card and some yummy Dora the Explorer chocolate for the boys (that's pronounced D-O-R-A around here - spelling it out is the only way to prevent the boys from thinking it's Dora time on tv. Seems like I've spelled D-O-R-A so many times that I can't even say the name anymore! Me to my husband: "How about the boys watch a little D-O-R-A while you get the P-I-Z-Z-A?" Me to my husband yesterday: "Oh look, my secret pal sent the boys some D-O-R-A C-H-O-C-O-L-ah, you know!"). Thanks, for the laugh, secret pal! (Hey, knitalongers, have you seen the latest finished knitalong projects? Be sure to check out Carrie's and Jessica's fun sweatpants, Erica's gorgeous Banff and Becky's fabulous poncho. And the first nearly-finished spring fling project I've seen: Sharlene's tank. And did you see the Smooch tank over at Oliewogs blog? Wowza! Beautiful knits, ladies!) posted by alison at 9:11 am | in

Heh. I can no longer say the word C-A-K-E or, like you, D-O-R-A. What is it with that little explorer girl and her monkey that has the toddler set so enthralled? Our little Diva seems to have a crush on Tiko and screams with joy everytime he shows up. It's hysterical, really. Um...I have nothing knitting related to add. Sorry. Just wanted to let you know you're not alone in the Dora-verse. Posted by: adrienne at March 19, 2004 9:42 AMEventually your boys will catch on to what D-O-R-A means. My mom has told me about one time they were talking about ordering some P-I-Z-Z-A after they put me to bed and I told them I wanted some pizza too! Enjoy the spelling while you can!

Posted by: Michelle at March 19, 2004 4:02 PMHi Alison! Those are wonderful log cabin washcloths! Thanks so much for hosting the knitalongs - the poncho AND the finishing fiesta. It really gave me the push I needed to swim through that final bit of stockinette for my sis' poncho and to get a move on the fringing. Viva Alison! Posted by: Becky at March 20, 2004 1:20 AMIs it too late to join the pant-a-long? I bought yarn for them, and intend to start them tonight! I like the color combination of the wash cloths. Unexpected and very nice! Posted by: Stacy at March 23, 2004 9:06 AM |
