Weekend Update

I had a quiet weekend-Jamey worked so mostly it was me and the kids. I finally was able to get Micci to clean his room. He did an excellent job and did it by himself--I came around toward the end and picked up trash. Next is Lorelei's room--that's going to be me picking up her room with her putting a few dollies away. So next is really the living room--getting all the toys out of that room.

Phil and Ashley (we think) are moving to Arizona and my Mom is helping them. So they should be passing our way next week. It'll be interesting to say the least--the last time Phil and Ashley came our plumbing went to hell. I am seriously considering posting signs on proper toilet usage and providing a HEB grocery bag for all non human waste JUST to make sure my pipes don't get over stuffed again (with 2 rolls of toilet paper and a sanitary napkin). They are planning on spending the day to hang out with the kids. It'll be interesting.

I dropped some stitches while transporting my MS3 on Friday...8 rows right in the middle of a lace motif. For the non-knitters read--that was bad very very bad--most knitters would have ripped the rows back all the way to the dropped stitch because knitting up k2tog and yo is difficult. I took our my tools and set about painstakingly pinning and separating and worked myself back up backwards...and now no one can tell there was every a problem. It's immensely rewarding--I should have taken some pictures---but I was in the moment and wanted to get it finished.

On Friday we met up with some friends that we haven't been able to see in a while--I was worried it would be awkward. But it turned out alright and our kids had fun. I am hoping to get together again before school starts--when everyone schedules go nuts.

I am glad you were able to save your MS3 without too much tinking. I am up to row 311. I also started another Clapotis in red sinfonia and red beads. I have 3 more repeats of the increase section. I needed someting that would "travel" with me to work for lunch knitting. I don't dare move my MS3 with the chart set up, magnetic line markers and row counter. I wouldn't want to do anything to lose my place. LOL. Sounds like you had a great weekend. My DH and I took Saturday off. We usually work at our center at least until 1 or 2. But we tooke off. We thought about going to see DD1 and DGS but decided to stay home and just pretend we went out of town. LOL. But I did miss going and seeing DD and Jax. We went to an estate sale. Nothing much there. But fun to go look anyway. Never know when you'll find another "knitting room full of yarn" like I did last year. LOL.
