Printed out the spreadsheet of chores and routines, posted it on the side of the fridge in a plastic page protector and...it seems to be helping. Yesterday, BG helped by watching the babies play while I was able to get some extra cleaning done in 15-30 min spurts. House is starting to look presentable again. DH was impressed enough with clean kitchen that this AM he actually wiped up his coffee spots and rinsed his spoon....AND put it in the strainer..not just leaving it on the counter. WOOHOO! (life's little pleasures)
Well, here is a strange turn. Saved this post to finish later and went out to wait for babies to arrive. As I was standing there watching the neighborhood kids walk to school, I hear "mew". One of the boys had a little orange tom kitten following him to school. He said it wasn't his...as in: "I don't think its my kitten. My orange kitten has yellow eyes" (DUH!) So kitten is happily purring and eating Feegle food on the back porch. I am hoping to see this kid on his way home and hand the kitten back off (if it is still here). Poor thing looks to be about 6-8 weeks old and is covered in fleas. BG went out to comb it to see if she could get some off. I know DH doesn't want anymore cats around. (last time we found a kitten, I showed him and he didn't say a word. Then a few minutes later, he said, "Should we call it OhNo..as in Oh no..another cat?") Feegle has been sitting in the kitchen window staring at it with a pouty face..like: You aren't going to bring THAT THING in, are you?
In knitting news: I fixed the mistake in the Morpork Pie by going to the one section that was messed up, tinking only those stitches for several rows, and knitting that section back up. That is a first for me as I usually tink back entire rows to fix a mistake unless it is straight knitting where I can just drop the one stitch down. With lace work, I couldn't do that. But this method worked well and I will remember how next time. Thankfully, someone else at MMario's group was having the same problem and someone posted pics of how to fix it this way. Timely information!
Cast on the Wasp Woman socks with a wool silk blend from Creatively Dyed. Too big. Frogged and started with a smaller needle..still too big. I don't think the yarn has enough stretch to make these feasible, so frogged till I can find another yarn.
Got out my Jitterbug yarn to cast on the Mummy Returns socks, but was interrupted by waking babies.
Still working on QAL
