For a blog that's supposed to be (somewhat, at least) about knitting, this one sucks. Since I have started babysitting 2 of my grandkids, knitting time is down to a bare minimum. Just enough to keep me from going completely over the edge. Wednesday nights with our group still happen, but it seems some nights I get more coffee and chat in than knitting. We have some competition for the chatting also, in the form of a Bluegrass band. The music is great, but a bit loud. I used to knit while BG had her piano lesson, but these days I am rolling the double stroller up and down the hall keeping the babies entertained instead.
OTN: slowly working up the sleeves for the wool/silk sweater; BS Johnson hat (at a stand still while waiting for 4 lost stitches to reappear out of L-space); a light mint green baby blanket for new grandchild that should make an appearance in November.
O(ff)TN: the 2 single Jitterbug socks. I got past the heel and was doing the decreases when I realized I didn't like the way it fit on the ankle.
Looking at a couple of patterns:

This one looks great, but not sure if I should use one of the Jitterbugs or my other skein of Wollmeise.
This free pattern from Ravelry looks good for the Moss Jitterbug:

Ok.... So we have to find you more knitting time in your day before you go insane. How about taking your knitting into the bathroom and locking the door?
