Weekend hamsters
We are all going to be hamsters on the weekends this fall - that means we're all going to be running around and around in our little wheels not going anywhere.
The three boys are all in sports for the next two months (football, soccer, and soccer) and of course their schedules are such that there are always at least two games happening simultaneously and sometimes all three. I am not a serious sport mom, so I can get a lot of sock knitting done during most games. (Anyway, my husband can do enough cheering for the two of us.) I am finishing up that little girl's sock (the second one) in Regia yarn - they are very cute.
Lochinver is still progressing each evening - not interesting enough for a new photo, in my judgment. I'm now at the start of the fourth stitch pattern, then I will get to start the underarm gussets which will be something new for me.
Can I just get something off my chest? Will someone please put a hit on the Arby's oven mitt on those annoying commercials? Everytime one of them comes on, I picture the Arby's executives sitting around a conference table with their p.r. firm discussing their new ad campaign and no one has the guts to stand up and say "what the hell are you people talking about, this is the most stupid fricking advertising mascot I've ever seen in my life." Worse than the Pillsbury doughboy, even.
