Graduations also leave little time for knitting

Sorry, I’m going to be boring today. All I did knitting-wise was a couple more swatches for the Gayle socks. I tried a stitch called honeycomb, because I’ve always wanted to try it. There are two rows out of 16 that are cable rows, and it didn’t turn out nearly cool enough to warrant that much effort. Next, I tried that garter slip stitch I like so much that I used on these hats. It’s pretty, but I want something bigger. So next I think I’m going to try a garter stitch check pattern, which looks a lot like a checkerboard. I still haven’t decided.

Thank you all so much for the responses to my inquiry about sideways socks. I haven’t ruled that out yet, I’m going to look at the patterns suggested.

SO, Wednesday was Olivia’s preschool graduation. She is in a small, co-op preschool that rotates from house to house.

She was very excited. And no, that’s not me.

Yesterday, Abigail graduated from kindergarten. Holy cow, what a to do it was!

And finally, Bergan, this is for you!

(Bergan has seen Abigail online and asked his mom why he wasn’t on the internet.)

Remember, tomorrow is Health Group day. I am really looking forward to it.
