My Summer, In Review

I sent the kids off to school this morning. Oh happy day!

How did I commemorate the day?

• I cleaned the bathrooms
• I fixed the archive and comment templates on this blog

What did I accomplish this summer?

• Well, most importantly, I spent quite a bit of time at home with the kids, which is something I wasn't able to do the previous couple of summers. So that was good.
• We had many excellent adventures and lots of summertime fun (camping, boating, etc.)
• I did not get my house in order as much as I would have liked, although some amount of progress was made.
• Not NEARLY enough knitting, people! Mostly socks, and a couple of aborted attempts at sweaters. But I should be getting the Virtual Yarn kit any day, now, and my big fair isle project will begin.

In poncho news, I found an error about six rows back and I'm wondering whether I can drop stitches, fix it, and pick up the stitches again, or if I will have to frog back. What happened was that the back centerline shaping got off one stitch when everything came off the needles and I put the marker back in the wrong spot. I'll let you know how the repair goes.

Say hey for a great summer! You know nothing in the house is as important as even the most banal stuff (um, sitting on HOT days at b-ball games, anyone?) you did with the kids. (No need to mention to anyone that I ever referred to any kid athletic event as banal, 'kay?)

You rool, Karen.
