non-productive days
These days actually I have devoted all my spare time to sleep. Normally after kids went to bed, it is my time for one or two hours at night, but recently when I try my baby to sleep, literally I cannnot stay awake, and every time I failed to get my prcious night time for knit....
Yesterday so far I asked my DH to check and wake me up if I didn't come out from bed room, and I took some photos for this blog entry and asked him also to put them into files so that I could make my entry easily, and brought my baby to bed around 9pm. I don't know when but I lost my consciousness into sleep with him just as the other days, and when I opened my eyes next time, it was 1:38am in the dark. My DH wasn't aside of me, I thought he just forgot to check me in watching DVD films on PC as usual. I felt dissapointed and too late to get up, I changed to pajamas and went into bed again. This morning when I accused him, he told me that he tried to wake me up three times, each time I opened my eyes and said I would come, and for third time I looked even annoyed and KICKED him.
That story embarasses me because, I have completely no memory about it. Ugh.
Well. anyway tonight I stay awake, I can show you my recent shopping:
This is a mitten kit from Hobbyra Hobbyre, Japanese crafty company. The mitten's pattern follows traditional Sweddish knitting technique. Sorry I cannot find the spell of that technique's name, it is look like Fair-Isle pattern but it includes purl stitches on it. Looks challenging for me but I have used to knit gloves and mittens, and that special technique is used only for cuffs. Besides, I really love that colorways. Want to look the yarns?
Gorgeous, isn't it?? I bought it for my winter holiday. The pattern is for a pair of mittens, but I will make gloves. In the meantime, I have to complete three scarves and a baby sweater...

Hi Trico! I am so glad to find your blog again, I have not read it in a long time. I think perhaps your kit is for Bohus knitting from Sweden? It is similar to Fair-Isle but more complicated and with texture. That's a beautiful kit - I am thinking of trying it myself sometime soon.

One afternoon, I was in the backyard hanging the laundry when an old, tired-looking dog wandered into the yard. I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home. But when I walked into the house, he followed me, sauntered down the hall and fell asleep in a corner. An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out. The next day he was back. He resumed his position in the hallway and slept for an hour.
This continued for several weeks. Curious, I pinned a note to his collar: "Every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap. "
The next day he arrived with a different note pinned to his collar: "He lives in a home with ten children - he's trying to catch up on his sleep."
I cried from laughter
Sorry, if not left a message on Rules.
