Fridays [on the needles, about those little people...] — Aishy @ 9:40 am

I am beginning to enjoy Fridays. You see, Tuesdays are my "night out" I go to knit night. I don’t make it every week. Fridays are my husbands night out, he goes gaming (yes, I will be knitting him a dice bag, as soon as I pull out the black caron simply soft thats been sitting in the closet for-ev-er and swatch it so the math whiz can help me figure out the mathiness of it). And while he is gone I play with the kids, we do movie/popcorn/typically pizza night & then they go to bed around 10 or so. ‘Cause it’s Friday, and Fridays = Stay Up So Late Night (phrase coined by my lovely friend, Tammy). And then, I put on a movie. And I knit & relax. Alone. So really, I get another full uninteruppted knit night because of my husbands gaming night.

So I am doing the toe decreasing, finally. And I looked up the kitchener and it doesn’t look so difficult, tedious maybe? Would that be a good word to describe it? I’m trying to just take this one thing at a time, so no worries about the kitchener yet. One of the sites says to do it when you have a block of uninteruppted time. And I laughed. Seriously? And when does one get that? Oh yes. Friday nights.

Well, till Toby comes anyway. Then Friday nights may not be so calm.

Anyway, the socks won’t be finished tonight - they may not be finished until after Tuesday depending on what I think about kitchener when I get there. But for tonight, as I said, they are being set aside. It IS 3:30 AM you know, and one of my littles has just awoken, and one is coughing. I have meds I might need in the middle of the night set on the dresser right over there, and plans to call the Pediatrician in the morning for a weekend appointment for my son with an ear infection (note to children - tell mom about the ear pain BEFORE five pm, not after, at least we have a ped with weekend hours). So, the socks have been photographed on my feet with about half the toe decreases done, for documenting and all that, and maybe sometime tommorow in between the things I need to do I will find time to knit them. Maybe I’ll be smart and wait until after bedtime again, when I can really give them my full attention.

  1. Kitchener isn’t difficult, but yes, tedious, and… finicky? You have to pay attention.

  2. Wow….5 kids. That is amazing!! Good luck. Thank you for stopping by my contest and sharing your story. I love when men don’t wait the 3 days to call and just pick up and call you. :) Thank you so much for sharing.

  3. Micki is the kitchener queen and I’m sure she would “hold your hand” through your first. My suggestion is to put in a lifeline on the row where you’re going to kitchener or the row before that. Just in case.
