Smooshy Goodness!
Things are on the upswing here! Big Boy is finally feeling better! Wow! It was a rough 8 days. He developed a nasty earache about day 6. The nurses said this was gonna happen. Still, nothing can prepare you for your child screaming in pain at 3 am!! Heartbreaking. So he had lots of pain meds for 8 days. As far as the broken arm, no big deal! He has been getting everyone to sign his cast. He was even in the pool last night. We go to the orthopedic surgeon tomorrow for another x-ray. It better be healing "right", because the thought of how they fix it if it isn't hurts ME!
In yarn news, my Mom went on her yearly jaunt with her sister-in-laws to Minnesota a week or to ago. I asked her to find me Koigu! And she did, of course with help from Aunt Marilyn!
There it is on top. Two skeins of Koigu KPPPM #P335. Why can't they give it names? Oh well. I will name it myself. Very fall like colors. I will get back to you on what I name it. I think this has moved to the top of the must knit now list. It feels so good!
And look what came in the mail today-
Smooshy! This is the prize I won from Wendie in her blog contest. It looks so good! The colorway is called Chinatown Apple. It is a rich blend of browns, orange and maroon. Thanks so much Wendie! I love the color. And the funny thing is, this is the color I kept looking at at The Loopy Ewe!
In progress right now, another pair of Jaywalkers. Gee, that's a surprise. I love the pattern. And I cannot just knit a plain pair of socks. One is done and I am halfway up the foot on the second-
The yarn is Spunky Eclectics Tough Sock yarn (which seems to be all gone now!) in Nightshade. I am loving the way the colors are coming out. Red, green, purple and black all molding together.
I also cast on another project today. A baby blanket for Hubby's cousins baby. She is all of a sudden due in 6 weeks! How does that happen! And she keeps hinting about how much her other son loves the blanket I knit him. Subtle. And I am a sucker! At least she appreciates it! No picture yet. I just finished casting on the 400 stitches! Next time!
Fingers crossed for the x-rays tomorrow!

Wow, you're all set for socks for a while! I still haven't gotten into sock knitting yet. ;)

7/7/07 - the most unlucky day for me as my son fell and broke both bones in his forearm. He's 5 1/2 and I still feel like the worst mommy in the world. Don't you just love the new waterproof casts? It sure has made summer a lot easier. Hope Big Boy is 100% soon and I am sure the x-rays will turn out just fine.
Love the socks and the yarn!

Hah! How funny that I should pick that color for you then! I'm glad you like it!

Those are beautiful yarns! I adore Koigu. I wonder what you'll knit with yours?
How did big boy's xray go? I have never heard of a cast that can go in the bath and pool before. It's about time they figured that one out! Especially for kids, poor little guy.

I was gonna say 'fingers crossed' but I realize it's a little late, hope it went well. Your koigu is lovely! Just surfing around, I'm a bit below you in the Dish Rag Tag!

Hi Stacey! I wanted to let you know that I dyed up your Ronald Weasley yarn this weekend! Is it OK to send it to the address you used on my package? Or should I use a different address? Let me know, and it will be on it's way as soon as it's dry and reskeined!
