Well, home at last!!
After a snow delay in Idaho Falls, Idaho last night we got home later than expected. But all is well! We even managed to get all of our bags as well! I do have to say that a turboprop plane in snow storms can be a little scary….not normally frightened by flying but well this time I had all my genetic productions on the plane with me. They just thought the bumpy, loud ride was fun……riiiiiight……
On the knitting front I finished a pair of socks for son Trevor out of some chunky patons I had with me. Just a simple 2×2 pattern. I finished 1 1/2 socks for Sadie out of some really cute purple sock yarn, I think it was kry 4-ply. I did a 5×1 rib & then single crocheted around the top.
So after being at my parents & sister’s house I decided that I will get my act together & finish the sweater & blanket for my mom. I was thinking of a sweater for my dad, or maybe some thrummed mittens. Let me tell you, it is frickin’ freezing in Idaho!! Being the SoCal girl that I am I forgot what a high of 26degrees can be like!
I am so happy that I have the parents that I have. I am so blessed that I can be their daughter & friend. And of course they are blessed to have me! (that is a little of my dad coming out in me, he rubs off way more than is healthy;o)) And my sister & her kids….they are just the loves of my life!! I hate it that until 2 years ago we all lived within an hour of eachother in Cali but now it’s a 2 day drive or a $2k trip on a scary ass plane. But I am happy that I did get the time with them that I did.
Stacy, my sister, hostessed us for Thanksgiving. Their were 24 of us total for dinner. A family & a couple friends came along with just the Sedgwicks (I am a maiden Sedgwick). So damn fun!
It snowed the first morning we were there, that made George’s trip! But then it melted & rained on Thursday so he was kinda bummed. Of course as we needed to fly out there was a big storm & delayed. Couldn’t play in it, just had to be mad at it.
Okay it’s 5 hours later & the front of moms sweater is done. I just have the shaping on the back of the sweater & one sleeve to do. It is in the round raglan short sleeves. I am excited to be done with it in the next couple of days! I just cross my fingers that it will fit. That is what ribbing & nice stretchy yarn is for
