Well, I did. It just took some prompting.

Yesterday, I went to my LYS, which was closed. That is frustrating. Do you know how much energy and effort it takes to take 4 kids anywhere? But I guess this yarn store closes at 2 on Wednesdays for some reason, so I loaded, unloaded, and re-loaded all those munchkins for nothing. BUT, on the way there, Liv started up about how much she wants to knit again. This would mean buying her new needles, because hers are either missing or broken. (I can’t remember, but it’s one of those). It occurred to me at that moment that what I ought to do is let the girls knit THEIR OWN Christmas stockings. Yes?

So, that is what we’re going to try. Thus, about the only patterning we can do is stripes. But I think it’d be really cute to have stockings that the girls knit themselves. Maybe I can even get Veronica to knit? I’ll do the heel turning and gusset of course, but the rest, on a circular needle ought to be easy.

I still need to find yarn. From a yarn store that stays open during business hours.

I think we’re going to have the knitalong right here on Fridays. It works for me. I’m not sure about a start date yet, but if you’re already going on it and are dying to show or tell me about it, feel free.
