Well, so I’ve sat on my big fat rear for two days and accomplishing practically NOTHING.

Mostly I have been running outside to see if any of the sheep are procreating. Now, I’m not weird or anything, it’s just that sheep gestate for almost exactly 145 days. So if you can document the um beginnings, then you know when to expect the babies. So I have t check on them every hour or so to see if anyone is feeling romantic.

Somehow, this is NOT conducive to productive thought, work ethics or even housework, which we all know I just say I can’t manage to get done, because really I don’t want to do it. If I were wealthier, I would just buy everyone a new package of socks every 12 days, and be done with it. I do buy the kids all ONE kind of sock, because matching different pairs is just more than my poor little brain can take. So I’ve been pretending to work, when really I’m reading a book, or blogs, telling myself that I em educating myself. (One book is a very good spiritual book) and the blogs, ok you caught me, I’m just wasting my time.

So I did start a pair of knee socks, I was going to put them on the Nov issue, if I can get some completed in time. I have a few other things to begin too.

Today out of the blue, Beau must be feeling sorry for me, because he is coming home early to drive me up to the yarn store. So either he is trying to brighten my day, or one of the little kids is constipated. (They ALWAYS go in the yarn store, all three of them.) SO this afternoon I get to go to a yarn/spinning store and I’m looking forward to that a lot.

Beau finished his dishcloth, and now has mastered the art of perling. It’s all coasting from here honey, well at least until you start on double point, or complicated lace patterns. But really, he probably will just do a scarf or hat or something so he should have smooth sailing for a while.

Dominic has gotten several inches done on his hat, and he’s getting tired of it I think. Well, he needs to learn to keep at something, little brat knits fast for only having knitted like 16 rows or something. I mean really, he can darned near keep up with me.

It’s kind of funny really, on one hand I have a student knitter (Beau) who’s all crabby because it’s so hard. And on the other hand I have a kid, who’s bored because it’s too easy.

So next item to be cast on will be a pretty little neck warmer, scarfish thing for people who have to bend over, thus have scarf issues. It also is great for people who urgently dash into the house to go to the bathroom, and accidentally dip the end of their scarf in the toilet. Hey, I know that person ok? Cause it’s me! I don’t do overalls or dresses with ties either.

opps! Gotta go, chicken on the porch.
