Today was a good day for small home-improvement projects in the most manly room of all - the garage. I added a shelf above the workbench for a stereo and other assorted goodie storage, changed out the old 60-Watt lighbulb fixture for a more suitable 80 Watts of flourescent pleasure, hung up all of the old license plates from the various states we used to live in (California, Michigan, Confusion, etc.), and generally cleaned up my workplace. It's now a room fit for... well, me!
Janine has officially gone knit-crazy. She's spent most of the afternoon and evening learning how to knit a sock, which I must admit looks pretty complex and cool. I blame my mother for this.
I believe that, based on the experiences of the past week or so, that video chat via AIM will now be the official format of communication for the Moore family. I don't know how long it'll last, but for now it's still got that novelty feel to it that makes it cool!
Other than that, things are pretty much normal or uninteresting. I'll let you know if anything else exciting happens.
Posted by Austin at March 12, 2005 08:45 PMis she knitting in the round on double pointed needles? 4 or 5? it looks harder than it is. ;o)
Posted by: melissa on March 14, 2005 09:34 AMI've tried both, but I'm sticking with 4. 5 is too many, and leaves more wonky stitches at the transfer points. I still can't get them to be as even, let's hope it gets better by the second sock.
Posted by: Janine on March 15, 2005 08:37 AMI am NOT responsible for Janine's knitting mania--she was just a natural knitter waiting for her talent to be freed! It's such a natural female bonding ritual. Mom
