Random thing 1:
I've started a baby blanket
The blanket is Serenity. I actually tried to make this blanket a few years back, before I had much experience with shawls. I was using the written instructions, but wasn't following them well. That, coupled with the fact I was using cheap acrylic, the project was abandoned.
But, one of the babies from the recent boom is due in just 4 weeks. It's a "gender surprise" baby, so I thought a neutral blanket was the perfect choice. The pattern is the thing that makes it special.

Inspired by mom's recent clean-out of her wool room. I tackled my house today. It's amazing how much a clean house can lift your spirits.
Random thing 3:
I had a helper with the cleaning
Every time I turned around, he was underfoot. Upstairs, downstairs - he doesn't even mind the vacuum. The other three were all hiding in the bed.Of course, all that following is tiring work - so he took a good long cat nap.
And when I say long I mean it - he takes up the whole loveseat!Random thing 4:
Mom's new sock machine has been busting a little bit of my stash, as well as hers. I gave her some Top Cat and some Alley Cat and she returned them as socks!
A pair for Dave
and a pair for me!

Awesome randoms. Love Mopar, he's so cute!!
Serenity is such a beautiful pattern; can't wait to see yours! Cute knitting machine socks, but are the toes baggy?
Love the Mopar (did you tell us about his weird name?).
Wishing you lots of fun with your friend!
Long is right!
I was telling Hubbie about Mopar and I said I thought he had such an unusual name. Hubbie looked at me like I was crazy. Apparently Mopar has something to do with motor parts-which everyone but me knows about. Hubbie, a car fanatic, thought it was the coolest name ever.
Ooops...that was me commenting about Mopar. The computer was signed into Hubbie's blog and I didn't know it. I didn't want you to think some weird guy was stalking your blog. ;)
