Slippers and Pictures

---

Did a little crocheting yesterday for my upstairs project. I'm using the Ribbed Slippers pattern from Marlo Cairns. It's easy to memorize and works up very quickly.

Didn't get much done on Joansie's mitten as I spent a good portion of the day learning how to use the camera. It does one of the things I wanted...taking good close ups of knitting!Isn't the detail great? Click on it to enlarge! WOW! I know this is old hat for all you camera buffs, but this is the first time I've ever had a camera that did this kind of stuff! And this kind of stuff!!!! This is Youngest Daughter, Eldest Granddaughter and Youngest Granddaughter, all of whom you've heard me "speak" of often.

What do you think of the new Knit Kit? It's nifty looking, and may be good for traveling, but wouldn't you end up throwing it into your knitting bag with the rest of your knitting stuff, which is probably everything that is in the Knit Kit?

President Obama's Saturday Report

No Camera...

I bought more batteries for the camera and the same thing happened. One or two pics and the batteries were dead. Don't think it's the batteries....

And my camera phone is dead, too. That, I might be able to get fixed. It's only a couple months old and should be replaced for free.

So, I'm "stealing" pics from blogs I read. This is a stitch detail from Jill's Chickadee Cowl. Naturally, it's a discontinued yarn, but I adore the quick color changes. One does get tired of long color changes that pool or just don't look good. Notice her nice even stitches, too.


I finished up my Bones socks. They are gorgeous and soon will be ready to mail to the coordinator. The bad thing about making socks for an unknown foot is the anxiety of knowing whether or not it will fit. Oh well...

Didn't make any progress on Mittnz knitting yesterday. I spent most of my day in the car driving EGD to school, YD to acupuncturist, and then the return trips spaced an hour apart.

Last night was Author's Night at Eldest Granddaughter's school. Everyone in her class wrote a book (one to ten sentences long) and illustrated it as well. Each one of them made a hat from a paper grocery bag to wear during their recitation. Quite the fashion show! It was nice to see all the family members there to encourage the reading and writing. The books are all laminated and were very professional looking.

Today we are taking Eldest Son to see the new Indiana Jones movie as his birthday present. I don't know if YD is going to join Youngest Son and I in seeing it with ES or not. She just came downstairs and is walking pretty good, but the hour in the chair at Author's Night last night just about killed her.
