Months ago, well for my birthday, Elsie gave me the KnitPicks Roxy the Fox and her Cubs kit.\u00a0 I made up one of the fox pups, which was adorable.\u00a0 Caleb was really impressed but thought I should make a WOLF, not a FOX.\u00a0 He did not buy into a wolf being red and white for some reason…<\/p>\n
Anyway, he talked me into knitting him a wolf.\u00a0 When Eldon heard that I was going to knit a wolf for Caleb, he asked for one, too, so I said I would accommodate.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Since May I have been working a few rows every so often, but nearly every time I see Caleb he asks if I have finished his wolf.\u00a0 I told him I might have it done by Christmas.<\/p>\n
Well, yesterday when I was at his house he asked again about the wolf and I asked him if he thought I should take it to Elsie\u2019s house to knit on.\u00a0 You can imagine how happy that made him.<\/p>\n
\nThis morning I was watch Caleb and Leah while Alissa and Eldon went to kindergarten open house.\u00a0 I brought out the wolf to see what I could do on it.\u00a0 My thought was that Caleb and Leah would be easy to deal with so I could get out the pattern and work it without making very many errors.<\/p>\n
It turns out that they were lambs, though Leah did the same climb-the-stairs routine today that she did yesterday and when I brought her downstairs the second time she started to cry.\u00a0 Thinking I could calm her by giving her water, I took her to the kitchen.\u00a0 She was very happy to have a drink.\u00a0 We then went into family room where Caleb was watching a care bears show and sat down in the rocker.\u00a0 Leah was watching for a couple of minutes then snuggled in comfortably in my lap. I was so pleased she felt comfortable sitting in my lap.\u00a0 Very shortly I felt as if I had dead weight in my lap.\u00a0 When I asked Caleb if Leah was asleep, he leaned forward in his little blue rocker and said, \u201cYep!\u201d\u00a0 I took her upstairs and deposited her carefully in her crib without waking her.\u00a0 I guess I will now assume that Leah trips upstairs means she wants to nap.<\/p>\n
While with Caleb I finished knitting the second wolf body and when I came home I started the first wolf head.\u00a0 The head did not turn out well at all–the fox has two colors which helps keep the pattern straight.\u00a0 With all gray for the wolf,\u00a0 not!\u00a0 I may use black with the gray for the second head.<\/p>\n
In between the children this morning and working on the wolves tonight I had a long day…starting with helping Peter at the computer at the Senior Center….though that turned out not to be successful as there were printer problems, and since I am not an administrator there I could not add the proper printer drivers.\u00a0 Peter suggested I do the printing at home.<\/p>\n
Swimming went well and I managed to swim one-third mile plus water-biked two more laps.<\/p>\n
Price Chopper for some Chobani Greek yogurt and a salad, then to Credit Union then to BirdSeed Quilts–no, that is not the name, but I did buy a beautiful quilt for the Graco bed for when James comes to visit next week. I did not think a full sized quilt or blanket would work very well there!<\/p>\n
The wheat had sprouted well so I made some sprouted wheat bread (which turned out pretty yummy) plus got some \u201craw sprouted wheat bread\u201d [which we saw on YouTube a couple nights ago] mixed up and put into the dehydrator along with three trays of blueberries,\u00a0 If it is any good we will eat that bread with peanut butter for breakfast…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
