Lots going on in DeLeeuw land.
Went to South Carolina for the annual dance recital. Yes, I really go every May just for that. Other Grandma's out there will understand. The weather was beautiful and am now waiting for the end of the month when school is out and Caitlin flys here for her 6 weeks or so. I plan to get lots of knitting done while she takes 4 weeks of swim lessons!!!!!
My Daughter has been selected to go through the process of joining the HMX team which is the Marines that guard and stay with the President on Helicopter trips . This is a long process which involves Security delving into every aspect of your life since birth. Seriously! We had to list our neighbors. It is an honor just to be chosen so she is pretty serene about the whole thing. I just hope that when they finally get to Quantico that Virginia has yarn shops. South Carolina is seriously lacking.
I have given all the baby Kimonos away-which gives me an excuse to buy more Malabrigo. Love that stuff. Got lots of baby alpaca for a song at the last Guild Meeting from the tables of "I don't want this anymore,can we trade??" A really great reason to belong if you need one.
Also got some wonderful 100% Bamboo from The Yarn Garden. Lindsay is wasting no time making changes and is going to TNNA on a shopping spree!! The bamboo is rapidly turning into a baby dress from a Knitting Pure and Simple pattern. It is going into the "Another Baby shower pile??" as everyone seems to have drank from the same water fountain and found themselves pregnant. Not me or any of mine, thank God!
I really want to start a new big project-a sweater from a Rowan book-but I need to finish my Dad's vest, Caitlin's ballet sweaters and ...
I am not buying the yarn for the Rowan sweater until these are completed. I'm not. Really. I can show great restraint at times. Really.
And I don't appreciate the laughter. Oh, that's me laughing. Sometimes subconsciouses can be annoying. Really.
