Knitting

I’ve been using up some of my stash cotton (LB kitchen cotton, sugar & cream, peaches & cream) and making up a bunch of wash cloths and smaller face cloths. I have about 6 wash and 2 face cloths finished at this point, I’m just going to stash most of them away to have on hand for small gifts, like hostess gifts, in the comming year. I’m really enjoying them because they are pretty mindless at this point, I can sit and veg out in front of the TV and still get some knitting done.

I do need to get started on the hats for the kids, but not until the New Year I think.

I found this booklet on making a wooden tabletop swift at The Woolery.

Family Life

Yesterday afternoon we all went out to see The Incredibles. I really enjoyed the movie, but I think it was a mistake to take the kids. I was thinking PG like Shrek, mostly for the adult humor, but it was more PG for cartoon violence, gun battles, people being blown up, etc. At one point Hubby took our daughter to the bathroom and she didn’t want to come back in, so he convinced her to sit in the back with him and see the ‘good guys win’. I’m usually really careful about what the kids watch, I guess I just wasn’t thinking.

After the movie we went to dinner at Applebee’s and used some of the gift certificates Hubby won at the company holiday party.
