Who would've thought that when I said I'd be back in a month, it really meant two? I certainly didn't! There hasn't been much knitting going on. I started the Beech Wood cowl sometime in early May, and for such a small and simple project, I've only finished about 1/4 of it. 5 minutes a day of knitting time just isn't enough folks!
Which brings me to this: Due to circumstances outside of my control, I am now a 'Stay-at-Home-Mom'. That's my new job title. Pretty fancy, hey? We had a dayhome for Sadie, with a friend of ours. She suddenly decided that she didn't want to do it anymore so we had 2 days to find an alternative, and now, it seems I'm the best fit for the job! I'm sad to leave the job I've had for 4 years (a personal record), and sad to lose my income, but incredibly happy that I now get to spend my days with my favorite person in the world. And there's always the hope that naptime for Sadie means knitting time for me. I may just finish that cowl before the Fall! And fortunately, I have quite a stash to get through before I have to buy yarn from WalMart. Silver-linings all over the place!
The picture, by the way, is from her first birthday party. She couldn't get enough of those mini cupcakes!
it will be awesome, you will love it!
