So, it looks like it's been since September that I last posted. Why? Well, my normal routine is to post while Carl is down
for a nap. But I've had a hitch the last couple of months, which is that I'm pregnant and have been incredibly fatigued. Carl's naptime has also turned into Ingrid's naptime. Now I am through the first trimester, though, so I'm now past the nausea (thank heavens) and somewhat past the fatigue (I'm napping only a few times a week now). So now I have a lot of catching up to do, considering that naptime is when I get just about everything done. I've managed to get some knitting done, though. I made a Santa hat for Carl from
Handknit Holidays. The idea was that he would wear it for a Christmas card photo, but as it turned out, he wouldn't wear it long enough for the perfect photo. (I have a couple fun ones here, though.) I'm finishing up the hobby horse
from
Knitted Gifts and plan to felt it tonight. As for the store goings on, we had our second knitting retreat at Camp Lutherhaven over Halloween weekend. That was just fabulous. We're starting to work on the class schedule for the New Year (which is hard to believe). There's a really fun free demo on December 12th of two simple one-row scarves. Given the proximity to Christmas, it would be nice to think that meant one row of knitting and your scarf is done, but it just means there's only one row that you repeat over and over. That's still nice. Anyway, I must continue with my cramming in as much catching up as possible while Carl is asleep and I'm not.
