Jo Knits!

What a busy weekend we had, it was so humid too, almost unbearable. Carl came home from Toronto withOUT my Toronto Sun, I knew he'd forget but he did bring home a surprise...... he sprained his ankle the night before and could barely walk. ARGH! He knew I needed to go shopping with him for our vacations. I did manage to get what I needed and he napped most of sunday, basically the kids didn't see him once again. Good thing our vacations start next monday, 7 days filled with activites with DADDY! I am taking the week off, he can play with them all he wants! LOL!

In knitting news nothing too excited, I knitted my 1st doily, which was nice, easy and fast to do. In an evening someone can make one, I knitted most of it while watching an old movie. Next time I might try making a double flower doily. These can be used as dishcloths but my mom thinks they look too nice, she doesn't want to get them dirty! LOL!

My Broadripple sock is coming along slowly, I've been knitting too many things at once, so it's been left behind. I'd really like to have one done by the end of the week. I'd knit the other at the camp, I'm still stressing over what yarn to bring, gosh, what would I do if I didn't bring enough? It's not like they'll be a yarn store right at the camp. ACK! Maybe I'll just knit doilies for everyone there! LOL! Maybe baby booties could be fun to make too, I could donate them to a lady I know that takes care of low-income pregnant women. I was on that program when pregnant with Lucas and getting little surprises was so much fun. :) In Quebec, we don't have a WIC program, we do have a program that helps pregnant women from weekm 20 to 40 of their pregnancies. You get milk, orange juice and eggs every week to help make sure preggo mom gets all the calcium, vitamins and protein she needs. Anyway, yup! I think I'll try to find cute baby bootie patterns and knit those at the camp. Won't take much space in my bag and it'll be a fun project to knit. :)

Ok got any EASY baby booties pattern to share? You know where to find me! :)
