See Wha' Ha' Happen' Was....

One blog post a year. That's got to qualify for some kind of record.

The freakin' house is Still. Not. Done. But we're getting closer. The second bathroom turned into a gut job, which took the adjacent bedroom with it. The new contractor says he can install the toilet and sink tomorrow. Maybe. The electrical issues are just about resolved. Mostly.

Once the room adjacent to the bathroom is done, as in done!, I think I'll turn the contractor loose on doing the "punch list" things . . . repainting a few things, finishing trim, getting the 3rd formal bedroom finished, get all that jazz done before we move into the gut job of the kitchen. The way everything is going, we may all be eating microwave dinners into February. Let me tell you how much that is going to piss me off....

In the meantime, the knitting is progressing. I actually made two pairs of baby socks for Benjamin:


And some mitts for Melissa and Giselle:

I think I now officially hate these colors. Yikes.

But the cool thing is...SOCKS! Yay, socks. On a circular needle, magic loop, turned heels, the whole bit. Because, socks.

It's an accomplishment. Makes me think I may be able to knit lace. Not now, but soon.
