dental woes

I took my daughter to the dentist. She had a toothache, but it looks like a new molar was causing some shifting and that was what was causing the pain. While we were there they went ahead and did a polishing and did bite-wings. We have to go back in two weeks to have a small cavity filled, they found it when they did the bite-wings. So kind of a good news, bad news kind of thing.

I finially finished Order of the Phoenix a couple of days ago and have finally started Half-blood Prince and am about 200 pages into it.

I am so glad I re-read the first five books before starting six, especially Order of the Phoenix.

I bought the new HP book yesterday. I am so tempted to just go ahead and read it (ok, I did read the first chapter) but I handed it over to my hubby and will continue reading The Goblet of Fire. I am determined to read all five again before I read Half-blood Prince.

Finishing projects has taken a big blow this week.

I started the sock for the Socknitters beginnerSAM and I didn’t like it so didn’t finish that (gonna rip it).

Started the sock for the Socknitter interSAM but because I have thick ankles I made it with a #2 instead of a #1, but I don’t like the way the fabric is knitting up, finished the lace part and everything, now I’m gonna have to start over with #1 and add an extra repeat, sigh.

I also started Branching Out, but I can only work on that when the kids are asleep, I have to be able to concentrate since I am new to lace knitting.

I have signed up for too many KALs so I think I am going to drop a couple, I can always come back to them later when the pressure is off. I think I’m going to drop Kiri for now, I don’t have the yarn I want to use for it right now and I have too many other projects I want to get finished.

The Mystery Stole Along is almost over so I will go ahead and drop it too, I do want to make it one day, just not now.

So, that will leave on the needles:

  1. Clapotis
  2. Branching Out
  3. Old Shale socks (interSAM)
  4. KPS Easy Childrens Socks in Grey Woolease for my son.

. . . seems like something is missing . . .

I started the socks for my son because I was feeling down about not having any projects . . . shoot . . . my son just walked into the room with my knitting needles, the ones that are supposed to be IN HIS SOCKS!!
