Do mermaids have feet?
I started these socks probably in 2006. They are finally finished. They didn’t take so long to knit, really. I just get distracted really, really easily. You should see all the baskets, bins and bags full of UFOs that are in my living room.
Ox-Cart Man
There are so many children’s books that have knitting in them that I want to share with you. I discovered this book on a Listmania! list on amazon.com.
Ox-Cart Man by Donald Hall and illustrated by Barbara Cooney

I’ve been busy sewing in ends on another new design—the one using the Regina yarn. I’m still loving the colours in which this yarn is available. I had a little set back when I found out that my favourite colour has been discontinued and I had planned a whole “colour story” based on that colour.

The hush, hush project made it into the mail in time and I just heard word that it was received in a town called Webster. Hana helped me block it when she was home sick with Strep throat.

Noon Hour Knitting
I’ve been teaching a knitting class at lunch time at Hana’s school. I have a great group of kids who are all eager to knit. On the first class as I was handing out their knitting bags and knitting needles they were so excited they were saying it was the best knitting class ever!
2510 minutes
I’ve been knitting fast and furious on my hush, hush project for the past week or so. I keep on having to wind more balls of yarn. This is encouraging—I’m over half way there!
