Busy Day
First off – I got an electric griddle for Christmas – with the crowd here for the holidays, and a need to make the eggs go farther, I made French Toast for all. Today, with Kate and the boys here, grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch! Works beautifully and speeds up getting it done. Cooks more evenly than the old style griddle that I had – the kind that lays over two burners on the stove.
Knitting frenzy this morning produced a finished set of cabled mitts for daughter, who modeled them!
The pattern is Mom’s Cabled Mitts. I’ve made a pair before, and wear them almost every day. This is Paton’s Classic Wool done on size 6 DPN’s, and I did them in the Large size. Daughter has small hands – the Large is longer, not wider, and I liked the idea of the mitts going further up the arms and down the hands. Warmer. Purple is her color; she arrived wearing a purple sweater.
Then Pop assembled the scooters that we got for the boys at Christmas. They were left here after the holidays because Daughter’s small car was full to the ears or they were forgotten with all that needed to be carried out. We all went outside to watch the boys try them out.
I’m gonna hate going back to work tomorrow!
