Well.  I kind of fell off  the Knit and Crochet Blog week wagon at the end.  We have been so busy lately so forgive me for the randomness of this post as I try to catch everything up.

Kid Stuff

• Liam is getting glasses.  He had his opthamologist appointment at the end of April and got a prescription for the first time.  We ordered the frames from Specs4Us.  I'll post a picture when he gets them.
• Liam's school had a Spring Social last week.  He was completely overwhelmed by all the people there, but he enjoyed eating pizza and meeting Clifford the Big Red Dog.  He also really liked seeing his teacher and listening to her read a story.
• We have an IEP progress meeting tonight.  I'm expecting a good report.  He knows his colors, numbers, and shapes.  He can talk about the weather and nature.  He knows everyone at school.  When he's really focused, he can count to thirteen with some prompting.  
• Juliana is showing signs of being ready to potty train.  She tells us when she needs a new diaper and has told us she's going to "pippit" before she does.  After pippit, she goes around saying, "ucky diaper, ucky diaper!"

Knitting Stuff

• I've got one sleeve left to graft before the Vine Yoke Cardigan is finished.  I would like to graft and block it soon.  This week is drizzly and chilly, and the cardigan would be perfect to wear before the heat and humidity come back.
• I cast on for the Belmondo Shawl (Rav link) last week.  Super fast project.  It's over halfway finished with only three-ish hours of work.
• I cast on for a sock of my own design and have ripped it out at least three times.  I'm fiddling with the stitch pattern to see if it can do what I want it to do.
• I've been dyeing yarn or working on yarn things almost every weekend.  There's yarn in the Etsy shop and more yarn to be photoed and listed.  I've got more yarn to dye too.
• I joined a new knitting guild.  The Flying Needles Knitting Guild (Rav link) is based here in my suburban area and is affiliated with TKGA.  If you're a local, you should come to a meeting.  We have an educational program each month, and we've got plans for more programs and activities as we grow.
