Some of my best memories of school. I did get a lot of knitting done this weekend. I am almost done with my clapotis, and I am absolutely in love with the pattern. I think I am going to do another in sock yarn. :) Hahahaha, oh those dorm days. Some of my best memories of school.

Glad he likes it. Hope knitting DD likes her school classes this year as well. Our youngest DD is in her junior year at high school. She loves band and math (if I had not been there I would've thought she wasn't my kid, math is not my thing). Vet girl is headed off to another state for classes and the 2 sons are already through and gainfully employed............YEAH for that! I have managed to fill my days in a busy manner so that's a good thing. But it gets quiet around here with the exception of Mr. Bettis, the DH's 105 pound puppy. He seems to keep me busy. Your little Monkey booties are adorable! Keep on knitting. I'm off here to bake some cookies, I need a pick-me-up and cookies are just the thing. .......knitting too of course.

(Once the Cool socks are done, there's just one more pair of skeins to go, and I'll have knitted everything from my first Loopy order! Of course, there's still all the OTHER Loopy orders to work through....) I'm also getting close to finished with a shawl.

He's happy and very busy. He and his roomie got a loft from some other dorm guys last year (free.) Son brought home the loft to store, roomie took home the nuts and bolts. Son also only hinted that the loft was designed for a double (regular sized) room, that they had a corner (larger) room for this year and that the loft spent last year "leaning against the walls a bit." Dad and son spent many hours re-assembling said loft on our driveway, making trips to town for nuts and bolts, and cutting cross supports so that it would stand on its own, without leaning on a wall. I guess it all worked. We sent him back with his Escape loaded and he's not mentioned the loft in any calls or e-mails home. Just how swamped he is. I think he needs some nice gold and black socks.

My senior year of college my dad built me a loft so I would have more space on my side... we got it all up and put together only to find that our floor had lower ceilings than the other floors (have no idea why), so my dad had to go out to the truck, get his chainsaw, and perform major surgery. People moving in at the same time must have thought we were totally cracked! Love the baby Monkeys... so adorable!

We're going to meet the newest baby in our lives today, and she gets a blankie and wee socks I knitted for her. I'm hoping you can share the pattern for those Baby Monkey Socks... I think little Grace wants a pair! Must hit Starbucks in my travels this afternoon! We’re going to meet the newest baby in our lives today, and she gets a blankie and wee socks I knitted for her.
