Tuesday I went to my first stitch & bitch which was fantastic! Met some lovely ladies & saw some very impressive projects! Definitely will be going back.... and back... and back. The looks from other people in the club were quite amusing too - Looking through the windows at around a dozen ladies all sitting and knitting! The ladies were a wealth of information and I was gob-smacked when one was able to pick the yarn I was using jut by looking at it!!! from a distance!!! I cast on for my Boogie vest and although I initially had reservations about the colour of the yarn I'm now really happy with it. Have finished the back over the week and will be casting on for the front later today or tonight...
Wednesday I took the kids to the theatre to see the Possum Magic musical - just magic! They both thoroughly enjoyed themselves - Charlotte even got up out of her seat at one point to dance to the music. It was a really nice evening out - quick (started at 6:30 and finished at 7:30) but enjoyable and I was really surprised at how well Izaak coped with the large amount of people there were and being children it was quite busy with everyone walking, running and jumping around just before the show started. I got a few brochures on other things happening at the theatre so it might be a regular thing??...
Thursday we headed up to Sydney for Charlotte's sleep study. All I can say out of the trip is that she is just such a little trooper! Didn't complain at all and was polite and chatty to everyone despite having electrodes pulled on and off her tummy/face/head. She didn't sleep as deeply (and therefore didn't snore as much as usual) as she does at home but I'm hoping that they at least got some idea of what's going on with her. So we are now off to the paed in 2 weeks to get the results. Dr Teng (paed sleep specialist) did comment on how abnormally large her tonsils are so I think they will start with taking those out. Izaak stayed with mum & dad overnight which was a drama as well because it was the day that they were moving house! and the night that was back-to-school night and Izaak had to take his grandparents back to school for an expo and to show them what he has been learning at school.
Friday we drove back from Sydney and I missed one turn near the airport! Rather than u-bolting it and trying to get back to where I needed to be we decided that we'd take the scenic route! Quite soon after making this decision though I realised it was athletics carnival day at school and I was trying to get back in time for Izaaks race. We left Sydney at 6:30am and got home at 10:30am, missed the race by about 10 mins. Bad mummy award for me!
On the knitting front I have been quite productive. I've cast on the Boogie vest, frogged both the toddler vest & cable bag that were on my WIP list finished my Lopi. I have felted it but can't say that I'm overly happy with the result... The handle doesn't stand up like I would have liked it to so this one might be getting gifted. So between finishing my clappy and frogging the other 2 projects the WIP list now stands at - Work vest, Knitting Needle Bag, Buttony Cardi & Boogie Vest. So... this is the Lopi....
