Life's a Stitch

We have a new expression in our house. It is the equivalent of "Off the record." So, if somebody wants to say something that won’t be posted they start the sentence with "No blog." It’s nothing new. I write a local newspaper column on parenting issues and my kids learned that nothing is sacred, they needed to be careful what they said in case they might be quoted. As in my eldest child’s comment in response to my saying "It used to be that, as your Mom, I knew everything and now that you’re a teen you think I know nothing." Her answer: "I always knew you knew nothing it just took me 14 years to get up the nerve to tell you." Or how about when she was four and she asked me what babies eat. I told her they either have milk from their mother’s breast or they have formula. She then asked how she was fed. I told her that she was breast fed and her reply, "Well, I wanted formula." Spunky kid is now graduating with her BSN.

On to knitting. "I’m knitting with Koigu woooah" (sung to the tune of I’m Walking on Sunshine) and don’t it feel good!! That’s another Caryl’s kerchief, this time for me, in colour P112.
