Moonlight Knitter

its been a while! And I have written this post already and lost it!

Life has been in the way.

We had the first day of school for Big Boy-

And for Baby Boy-


But the most exciting part was day two for Big Boy-


What? What is different? No cast! He had school in the morning and got his cast off that afternoon! He is doing well. Funny fact though- he is still eating with his left hand! Last night at the dinner table, he was poking peaches with a fork in his right hand and scooping rice with a spoon in his left hand! It is amazing how children can adapt!

We had a trip to St. Louis with BF and her squeeze-and without the boys. It was fun. We squeezed as much fun as possible into those 28 child free hours! Most of which I can not show pictures of! Here is one we can show-


We took an Anheuser-Busch Brewery Tour! It was fun! And the reward at the end was a nice sampling of icy cold beer! Mmmm, beer!

There has been knitting. Just not much!

These are booties I made with the Saartje's Bootees pattern (warning- pdf link). I made another pair in boy colors that have been gifted already. I am casting on for another boyish pair today. Quick knit and so cute! And perfect for any sock knitter out there with leftover yarn!

I also got my Sockapalooza 4 socks today-

These are from Elizabeth G in MI, who is blogless. They fit! They are made with Claudia Handpainted in this color, I think. She couldn't find the ballband. That happens to me all the time! They have a delicate little cable down each side. Thank you Elizabeth!

Otherwise, I started another pair of Monkey socks, the jaywalkers are my on-the-go knit, and I started a chevron scarf! More on all of that next time. Hopefully soon!
