Well, it is official . . . there is now a teen driver in the house. Hockeyman just took and passed his test and now has a learner's permit.Gah! I'm just not old enough to have a teenager with a permit.
And to add to the maternal distress around here, my "baby" turned 8 this week. Somehow, the idea that my little Snicklefritz (also known as Peeps) is now in second grade and growing up WAAAAYYY too fast hit me a bit hard this week. It would not be an understatement to say that I've spent a significant amount of time this week feeling a bit farklempt.
In brighter news, the beaded wristlets are done and blocking as I type. I knit these from black sock yarn I had in my stash, on size 0 needles. The pattern was from the February 1988 McCall's Needlework & Crafts magazine.
I've also designed and am knitting a coordinating drawstring bag. I'm leaving the beads off but plan to line it with a bright satin fabric, so that the color will be revealed through the lace pattern. I'm very excited about the bag but you'll have to wait until it's finished and blocking before I'll photograph it.
I can never get the details to show up when I photograph black yarn. I hope you can get an idea how cute these really are without a stunning photo.
Otherwise, you'll just have to come to the show and look at them in person during the meet & greet after the performance.
Yes, that was a blatant plug for the show. Go to cvft dotorg for ticket info.

I would want to wear those all the time.
I love the wristlets! They look so elegant...
Are you going to miss your car? You probably won't be driving it for a while. At least you will soon have someone who can drive to the store for you! :)
