You are now the champion...Your title says it all. You are now the champion metaphor beater. :-)<BR/><BR/>At that point in your edging is where I would be so ready to be finished. <BR/><BR/>Elementary school graduation is quite the milestone for both parent and child. I will give you a heads up that Middle School is tough. Mostly for social reasons. It might be a smidge easier for boys (??) but middle school is where mean girls get meaner. I was fortunate that my daughter is quick witted and could stand her ground. Good luck to you on the middle school adventure. <BR/><BR/>I have a new goal of knitting one pair of socks a month. I finished my wick socks and now have found a pattern for short socks that I am liking very much. I found it via ravelry: http://mindofwinter.prettyposies.com/archives/000169.html I am using some Colinette Jitterbug. The yarn is nice. I thought of you because it really does look like clown barf. Seriously. But these socks are short and will be fine with my converse.<BR/><BR/>I did get the STR yarn wound. Still haven't decided what pattern I will use. How are yours coming along? Are they fitting okay? I read on the STR site that people are having fit problems. <BR/><BR/>It is hot here today! 83 degrees and rainy. Boo on the rain. Hope your Monday is great. :-)kippihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05346284045882651761noreply@blogger.com
