I just can't take the fact that I had that sock yarn all along!

Love the color combo on the hat! The mustard-yellow is so perfect!

so cool that you found the rest of the yarn for those socks!!

RE: ungrateful toddlers. I hear ya, sister. That's one of the chief reasons I don't knit or sew much for my kids. (although: I did purpose my green gauntlets for K to wear as leg warmers, and now none of my gauntlets are safe from my kids...E wore another pair to school today and M was begging me to make him some. I think I have a yellow pair to match his hat around here somewhere!!)

Really enjoyed watching this today. My big boy sometimes says he doesn't like things I have made for him, but usually it's just a stress response to being given something. He will later choose them of his own volition. Enjoy your selfish knitting, I look forward to sein it next week!

Would you mind posting links to the podcasts you mentioned? I have just had this wild "ah-hah" moment that podcasts fill a big void for me as I am transitioning from full time professional to housewife.

Also, how did the sweater turn out for Lucy? Did she like it? How long did the sleeves make it? Did I miss this on instagram?

And lastly, my roommate and I made a bunch of those rice bags in college, and I still use mine faithfully... 15 years later. I'm sure your bags' recipients will appreciate them!

Hi Amanda! I added links to the podcasts I mentioned. Sorry for that oversight. I am still struggling to snap a picture of Lucy's sweater. I'll show it on the next episode. The sleeves are short cap sleeves. I plan to undo the bind off and add some length to it eventually.
