Which side do you like better – left or right? Do you see why finishing is so much fun? Results, baby. Results!
And this one’s really rolling. I tried a few different seaming ideas, and settled on the best one fairly quickly. It’s flying.
Finishing is so fun, it makes you feel like you just had a big cup of coffee when you’re not used to drinking caffeine. Which makes you crave a cup of coffee. Just one cup of coffee. But you know if you drank one, you would be bouncing off the walls so much there would be no knitting going on. Or anything else useful, for that matter. Just the same, I am sorely tempted.
It’s taking every bit of self-control I have not to pick this up and finish it. Ach! But I have laundry to do. And packing.
Did I mention we’re headed to Florida? Where it’s going to be 80 degrees when we get off the plane? I honestly have no idea what the boys are going to wear. Hopefully I can dig up some old short sleeve shirts of Ben’s for Joey. And hopefully Ben’s short sleeve shirts from last summer still fit. [Maybe laundry isn’t so important after all. No, I hate coming home to dirty laundry…and almost finished knitting projects.]
Ben talked to my dad this morning on the phone. Grandpa told him that we would see them tomorrow when we get off the plane. Ben has had two pressing questions ever since that conversation:
Who is going to drive the plane?
He wanted to know who was going to drive the plane: Mommy or Daddy. I told him neither of us – that we would all be riding, and the pilots would fly the plane. Now he just keeps asking who is going to be the pilot. Telling him that we will find out tomorrow when we get on the plane is not a good enough answer.
The other pressing question: What color is the airplane?
This one I can answer – blue and orange – I even showed him on the website – but also not good enough. If I ask him what color he thinks the plane is going to be, he says, “Blue and white.” And he keeps asking.
Such pressing issues.
But hey, you know the benefit of traveling with small children: You get to pre-board, and when everyone else gets on the plane, they try to find seats as far away from you as possible.
[I’m just trying to be positive, okay?]
Enough now. I have knitting packing to do.
Hillarious. I’d sit on the left side, just cause you’ll probably have more for the boys to see (instead of the gulf) and I’m guessing that if you’re flying in the evening, the sun will be setting over the gulf and I always find it blinding. But that’s me.
Enjoy your trip guys!
This sweater is a knock-out! I love cables. Hopefully you will post a photo of you modeling it and we can all see the wonder of its textures. Thanks for sharing! Great work.
oooh, Florida! Have a great time! You don’t have a long layover in Nashville, do you? We could have lunch 🙂
