Home

Hubby got home Saturday night at almost 9. I wasn't expecting him til yesterday. He had me on the phone, pretending he was in New Brunswick. Then I looked out the window and first thought was, "Who's that driving a big truck like that down this road this late at night?" Then I clued in it was him. The boys were excited. He may be leaving tomorrow for a short run to Toronto so he's back next weekend for the annual firemen's banquet. He gets his 15 year certificate this year, and it's free booze to boot!

I started a pair of toddler socks for the store in some Fortissima socka that we had in an odd dye lot. (I think it's this color or very close - I lost the label already!) I will have them finished later today. I will have to pause the socks for a couple of days. The lady that used to do the framing at the store called me yesterday and wants a newborn baby set. She needs it quickly, so I will start it today and hope to have it finished by Friday. If not then I will have it completed over the weekend so she can pick it up Monday. I have the same book she had in the store the other day, so I am going to make the same one she had planned. It's just a garter stitch bonnet, jacket, and booties. I've made it once before, and it was cute. The sleeves and body are knit from the bottom up, and the top is a yoke, so it cuts back on the sewing up! I think if I remember correctly the only sewing on the jacket is the sleeve seams and buttons. She has a bad shoulder, and she tried to knit it but it bothers her too much. I have some pink yarn in my stash that I can use, so this will be all profit!

Hope to have some pictures in the next couple of days of the toddler socks and the finished baby set. Now that I found my other 4.5mm needles I have to get back to work on the sweater sleeve, too!

Off to the grocery store.

Happy knitting!
