Quietish

Although Justin generally does join me in my craftiness throughout the week, I don’t usually point it out. This week however, Justin has finished his current stitchie project. I have enjoyed watching him work each section of stitching, and of course appreciate having a stitching buddy. Good job, honey!

Dragon Dreams Fairy Tale Sampler

Upon his finish we pulled out our stack of charts so he could pick a new project, and he finally decided on Castle Sampler, by Teresa Wentzler. He hesitated to choose that one because it is one of my favorites, but really it just lightens my load. The more things he stitches, the fewer things I feel that I must stitch. So. Yay!

We were going to stitch last night, but the kids were difficult to get to sleep. He got this far:

and I didn’t even pull mine out. Sad. It has been this way all week.

Last week I got a new skein of yarn from Two Waters and couldn’t resist casting on a new sock. Now, when it comes to socks I generally am monogamous. So next to my computer this little ribbed cuff sits:

encouraging me to finish work on my focus sock so I can come back to it.

Justin’s socks.

They’re getting there. As with the stitching, I have not had much quality knitting time lately. Perhaps I’ll get some progress on it during the Sit N Stitch tonight.

So, I gave Justin the final say on the naming of his socks. After all *he* is the Disney geek. I’m just a spectator. Congratulations to Shells, who suggested his choice. He will be calling his socks Uncle Waldo, in honor of the drunken goose in the movie Aristocats. With the zigzaggy Jaywalker pattern, I have to agree that it is quite appropriate.
