Catching up

I haven't written in awhile, obviously! So I need to catch up.

I went to the Yarn Barn at lunchtime to use my 25% coupon. The first person I saw in there is Adina who is working there two days a week. I didn't know that -- that's so cool. She's a wonderful and talented knitter and a great swordfighter! So I bought the ball winder I've been craving and I also picked up three skeins of wool. I have so many projects in mind and have to live to be 125 to get them all done. LOL!!

I'm almost done with the main gift for the spring knitting exchange and I learned a new technique -- the i-cord bind off. It's so easy and looks wonderful. I'll post before and after pictures after the recipient gets it.

Another series that sounds good:

The Mommy-Track mysteries by Ayelet Waldmen

Nursery Crimes
The Big Nap
A Playdate with Death
Death Gets a Time-Out
Murder Plays House
The Cradle Robbers

Not sure if that's the right order though.

Jenny has finally started to venture out into the rest of the house although she hides out when anyone comes over. She still growls at Pino but we're getting better. :)
