it was a day of ice cream

eaten outside with spoons held in mudcaked hands

way, way up high in the swing set fort.

this was my first time ever (d finished it late last fall)

and wow!

so what if spring’s not here yet,

the mud, fever (spring fever that is) and even a couple of bugs were all seen today by my brood.

and the youngest decided

that the knit picks comfy i’m knitting the ‘like an owl’ pullover in

was just too yummy to keep her hands off of.

so, while i was knitting on one end

she was jabbing the skein

fairly rhythmically

with a shiny ‘g’

hook

saying, ‘look mama, i’m knitting.  look mama, i’m knitting.  look mama…’

(you get the point).

can’t say as i blame her

this stuff is ‘cozy-up to me real quick’

and ‘never let go’ super soft.

(also machine washable and all that.  whee!)

i’m done the back and 1/2 way up the left front

and the speed at which it is becoming a sweaterish thing is keeping me ever so

motivated.
