My words aren't working all that well, so here are a bunch of photos.
Baby:
Knitting:
This is Leigh's slightly-late Christmas present.
The pattern is Twist by Chic Knits, the yarn is Dream in Color's worsted weight, which goes by the unappealing name Classy. Their sock yarn is called Smooshy. That's a good name for a yarn. Classy? Really? That's the best you've got? Anyway, the yarn is gorgeous, and the pattern was a blast to knit, and Leigh really seemed to like it, so yay.
Rita and I are off to Stitches West on Friday (Rita says she feels famous when she's mentioned here, so consider this pandering). I'm blowing off work in favor of yarn shopping. Priorities! I'm feeling bleh on all my projects right now, so it might get me over my little case of knitter's block. (get it? knit? block? eh. I did, however, actually block Leigh's sweater before I sewed it up. Alert the media.)
Isaac got to visit Nathan yesterday. Nathan calls him Friend Ike-ick, which is so adorable. They played in the awesome sandbox Leigh designed and built. It has tubes and wheels and a ramp, and an adult-size bench. You really want Leigh to be your aunt. She has already made a digging apparatus for Nathan's birthday cake next month. He has the truck/construction bug soooo bad, and he's going to love that his cake has levers. It's fun to be on the highway with Ryan, because she starts to point out all the trucks we pass. Oooooh! Cement truck! And then the merciless teasing begins.
Update! I found the curtains for Isaac's room. They were in a box marked CDs in Dennis' office. I shortened them into a longish valance over his blackout shades, since the windows here are tall and narrow instead of short and wide. They look ok.
