I was taking photos of the Robin Hood Jacket (in the final stages of construction) and mugging for the camera to show off my new hat, and the batteries in the camera died. How the heck can we have no AA batteries in the house, and where are the dang rechargeables?

Blah.

Maybe I’ll get the sweater sewn together and figure out where I put the buttons today, and post a modeling picture later.

I’m working on a soaker for Arlo in black Cascade 220 (the Little Turtle Knits Hybrid Rib) . I can’t just leave it black - it’s begging for some sort of embellishment. The obvious thing would be The Jolly Roger, and he can be Arrrrrrlo, but I’m thinking about other things too. I wasn’t planning to do black, I have a skein of red up in the stash room that I was looking for, but then out jumped the black. I’ll do the red one next! We need more soakers, since there’s only one that isn’t purple or a girly multicolor. Ah, the poor second child - getting his sister’s hand-me-downs even when they’re very girly. I’ll just choose to say that I’m teaching him to be secure in his masculinity.

Maybe I’ll go knit a few rounds on the soaker before the boy wakes up. Hopefully Grace can keep from knocking things over here - she’s playing with the cats with a feather toy. Whoops, I hear a baby upstairs. Darnit!
