The icky green stage

I am beginning to doubt that I will get sick; which is a good thing. THe kids are at the stage in their colds where their nasal discharge (to use the polite term) is a thick green mass that hangs delicately from the nose--lying comfortably on the upper lip (to be very graphic). This requires me to follow them both around with a tissue and wipe their reluctant noses. I wish their was a cup I could attach to the end of their noses that you catch/such up this mucous.

Lorelei slept all night without screaming! Yea!! After the night before of constant crying I was reminded of her first 6 weeks of life--but at least then I could plug her up with my breast--not so much anymore.

More good news: I found my camera. It was a foot from the computer the entire time, buried deep in my knitting basket. I took some pictures of my new respectable yarn stash last night.

This is my birthday present from my Dad and a bit of a Christmas present from Granny C. When I neglected to realise that one ball of sock yarn in 50 grams makes ONE sock. There's some alpaca and silk and wool--my favourites are the variegated lace weight yarn, esp. the flame coloured one. It's going to make a handsome wrap.

This is sock yarn and sport weight wool from Lorna's Laces I got from my trip to Yarnbow.

I can not wait to start knitting with my new stash. But I got two scarves, two bracelets and a wristwarmer to complete first.

Meanwhile I have visions of lace stoles and lacey socks dance in my head.
