The Olympics Are Over

I am half way thru knitting my coat...should get alot done today watching an entire day of 'the last day' of the Olympics. GO CANADA GO for the hockey game! Can only imagne how amazing the closing ceremony will be.

First Dentist Appointment

Jackson waiting in the lobby to go for 'his turn' to the dentist. This is his FIRST time there. Charlotte and Christopher went in ahead of him...they came out with 'gifts' so he's thinking this is a good deal....

The dentist walked in and her comment was "Oh! he is soooo cute"

"Open wide...we have to count your teeth"...no problem!

He just did as he was told....then we went to Denny's for

brunch as it was his Mommy's birthday and birthday people get

a free meal at Denny's right on their birth date!!

All done his meal and is ready to 'go'....

Aunty Karyn joined us for brunch...then she took Janis and Jackson shopping

and I took Charlotte and Christopher to my place and we swam for hours...

then played board games...then it was time to head home! A very good day.

scarf knit length wise..

I cast on 200 stitches on a 9mm circular needle...

twist scarf and beret

finally finished...hmmm..might knit a bit more to the scarf (still on the needle!)

recycled unfinished sweater into hat

My niece sent me the body of an unfinished sweater...

I took the bottom patterned section of it...serged it into two adult hats...

picked up the stitches along the top and crowned it into this finished hat...

made two hats out of this unfinished sweater....sooooo nice...pure wool!
