Jo Knits!

U, for Umbrella!

This game I started of using a letter of the alphabet for a title is getting hard! LOL! After I get to Z, no more titles! ;)

I'm about to start a pair of socks for Zoe! I bought some Confetti #206 on friday to go with her new clear boots. The pink is red in real life!

Well she decided she preferred the Regia #5526 colorway. So I'm thinking soon I shall be sporting confetti socks! :D Lucas won't be missing out either, I have a single ball of confetti in a mottled white/blue. I think that should be enough for his lil'feet.

As a mom, you always are proud of the accomplishments of your children! Lucas has started to talk a whole lot in the last week. In fact, he can't seem to stop! LOL! He's been saying new words everyday, repeats what we tell him to assimilate the words better. At the daycare someone's mother couldn't believe how sweet Zoe is. She was amazed that *my* girl was compassionate about others (how she decided on that, I don't know.) Zoe forgot to wish all the daycare personal a great weekend, so we had to go back. LOL! She's too cute! ;)

I've been studying sock patterns last night and will try my needles at a toe up pattern! I'll start with a figure 8 cast on and hope for the best! LOL! If that ends up too hard, either I try other methods of casting on toes. If that goes all wrong then there's the good old, cuff to toes sock patterns! ;)

I'm about 3 rows away from finishing the 5-hour baby sweater but haven't touched it all week. In fact in the past 3 days days, I never picked up the needles. Too busy with spring! Today it is beautiful out, first day without rain, we are planning to go to a craft show/exhibition (pardon the french only site, I couldn't find any english translation). There should be some knitted items for sale (I just go for inspiration!) Also most likely some homemade jams or goods will be for sale! Who can resist? :)

On a very special note, yesterday I got new running shoes!!! (Yeah like who cares?) I do! :) We were off to buy Carl some shoes but at out beloved Zellers store, we found Salomon shoes that we couldn't not buy. They are sooooo cute! LOL! Each spring we buy a new pair shoes both dh and I. Since we walk to everywhere we go, walking shoes are important to us and we splurge on good quality shoes. :) By the end of the day he did find a pair of shoes also. We got lucky as we found his at a 50% off store sale!!! :) As silly people we are, we call ourselves the cool shoes clan! LOL! The Salomon couple, we used to be the New Balance couple last year! ;) Click here to see our cooool new shoes! LOL! ;)

What a happy day it was. Off to go check out the sun now! :)

hugs,
