As the ball was dropping to announced the arrival of 2005, the kids, CArl, my mom and I were following the countdown on tv. We screamed bonne année!!! (happy new year, in french), cracked open a bottle of sparkling crisp apple juice and celebrated with sushi for the adults. That was a special treat for Carl, I'm still on the learning curve about sushi. ;) The kids went to bed without saying a word, they had stayed up until midnight with a bit of difficulty but it was fun to have them around to watch the show from New York. I hope everyone had a fun new year's arrival.
Now as we were patiently awaiting 2005, I had my 1st knitting-related accident. I was knitting away on my socks and a dpn slipped from my hand, it got stuck standing on my chair and in reflex I tried to catch it. Let's just say it caught me, when I moved my hand back up the needle was stuck on me, it took a split-second to realize that I wasn't holding the dpn though it was in my hand. I grabbed the needle by the other hand, yanked it out and ran to the washroom (didn't want to freak out the kids) well they both followed me and asked what the 1st aid kit was for... I smiled and simply suggested they go play, mommy was hurt, just at that moment, Carl arrived home. Oh yeah, I was home alone with the kids for like 30 seconds when this happen. Carl made my booboo all better and I was laughing through the tears trying to explain what had happened. He warned me to better not knit while he had to go out again. LOL! Now what does this main, will I be accident prone in 2005? teehee!
I am now at the leg part on both socks, I am going to keep these socks as the model socks for any future sock knitting. I can't wait to wear them, I'm loving this project and quite frankly I have let any other project aside for now. The Mariah sweater can wait, socks.... well they are fun to do now, best to knit as many as I feel like before moving onto something else after. ;)
This morning we went out for the traditional brunch at the restaurant event. Came home and watched part of the Rose Bowl Parade, that is something I remember watching with my grandmother ages ago each New Year's day. Oh and there was figure skating on the television, what more can I ask for? :)
Tonight we are celebrating over PEI lobsters we bought back when we were in the maritimes. I am wearing my original PEI dirt shirt to boot. Pure pleasure I tell ya, it's happiness all around here. Hope you are hving a lovely day too. :)
hugs,
