Oh for shame

BEFORE:

AFTER:

It is progress in the right direction. I am well aware that "Red" didn't like doubling as a laundry line.....for the past 2 weeks!! Oh for shame. The first step in the right direction is admitting my problem of using exercise equipment to moonlight as laundry lines. I'm a work in progress. Follow my momentum. Remove your laundry and dust your exercise contraptions this week. Now to actually get on the thing.

Waddle Warmer

Chloe knit up this cute cell phone holder which is awesome because although I'm not an avid user of the thing, when I do carry it I drop it, and it gets dinged and it isn't so svelte when that happens. The color isn't coming through. It is really a royal purple and I love it.I loved the color so much I decided to use some of the leftover yarn for the trim on this little waddle cover up. Remember that guy Richard Fish from the show Ally McBeal? He would be so mad, because well he loved to finger a waddle, but really who needs to see my cold wattle? Nobody that's who. The design is from Tangle. Wow is that a super inspiring site! The pattern can be found for free here.
Yes, I am modeling it in all my retouched neck glory. Because again, this is about the neck warmer, not my floppy neck ;) What am I staring off into the distance at? I don't know, I was hopped up on DayQuil.

S child just started taking ballet. Okay, she doesn't actually participate in the class yet. We sit by the door and she watches all the other 4 yr olds chasse, jete, tendu, frappe and curtsy in their teeny tiny leotards. For the record I had to consult the Googles for the proper spelling of all this French that the instructor rattles off. I feel very mature when I come home and try it out on the unsuspecting family. Its only week 2 of ballet and I'm hopeful she'll participate at some point in the next 6 weeks. She can then victoriously run crying back to me in all her spunktifulous glory. Don't try to Google that word, it's all mine baby. I'm cool with her taking time to feel comfortable joining in. I'm also very cool with how these little leg warmers turned out. Anyone, hearing Flashdance music? I was when I knit them up last week.
