Let Me Entertain You

May 22, 2007 By Carole

I have two new projects on the needles:

garter_rib_socks.jpg
Garter Rib Socks. The yarn is Claudia’s Handpaint in the color “boot camp.” These are a gift and I can say no more than that.

ladentellebellescarf.jpg
La Dentelle Belle Scarf from Knituition. I’m using the Brooks Farm 2 Ply Kid Mohair that I bought at Rhinebeck. I haven’t gotten very far but I’m loving it.

Since neither of those things are very entertaining, I’ll leave you with something that I find highly entertaining.

Ambrynn, Grandpa aka Dale, and Daddy aka Brant. When Ambrynn says “dance” . . . you’d better dance!

    The knitting looks great.
    Ambrynn sure has the men in her life wrapped around her finger, just the way it should be!

    How cute! Oh, to have kids that huggable again…
    Isn’t that a great scarf? I fell for that one too. Another lucky recipirnt of a beautiful pair of socks…

    Ah, the Wiggles. I can see she’s using their powers for good.

    Most excellent! Its hard not to dance to the Wiggles!

    Gotta love the Wiggles! Dan was “taught” how to have a tea party when my goddaughter was 4… he was yelled at for over an hour for “doing it wrong!” and sitting on imaginary people. He said he’s never had a more stressful imaginary meal. 🙂

    Socks look pretty… and the scarf will be very nice!

    Love the colors of that sock yarn. The video is just too cute!

    Too cute!!
    I love that scarf. Thanks for the link. I’ll be adding it to the queue.

    That is SO funny.

    Wouldn’t have figured that result for those colors of Claudia. Nice.

  9. Kim says

    May 22, 2007 at 8:32 am

    Thanks for the smile this morning! Too cute!

  10. Kirsten says

    May 22, 2007 at 8:36 am

    Oooo, I love Teresa’s scarf pattern. I was thinking about using it for my Spun Stitches project.
    Love the Claudia’s color that you are using for those socks!

    You know we had a very brief stint with the Wiggles. I’m glad it was brief :o)

  12. Deb says

    May 22, 2007 at 8:53 am

    Love the knitting but the dancing left cereal all over the monitor. Thanks for sharing a bit of your life with us!

  13. Manise says

    May 22, 2007 at 9:00 am

    Love the new projects. That scarf would look nice in some Foxfire yarn I have. Ambrynn is sooo cute!

  14. Kristi aka Fiber Fool says

    May 22, 2007 at 9:27 am

    It is amazing the command littles ones have isn’t it? LOL! That Brooks Farm is going to be a fantastic yarn for the scarf. I can’t wait to see the FO!

  15. Karen says

    May 22, 2007 at 9:30 am

    Starting new projects is the best. I haven’t heard of that scarf yet. I will have to check it out.

    Loved the dance!

  16. Julie says

    May 22, 2007 at 9:31 am

    The new projects are looking good, but that video is the BEST! Dale can really move his hips 🙂

    Clearly, little Ambynn is on her way to world domination. Who could resist her?

  18. Mindy says

    May 22, 2007 at 10:09 am

    Those are awesome powers, she must learn to use them for good. The last time I listened to the Wiggles, I sang them for three days. I am very glad my sons are out of that phase.

  19. Annie says

    May 22, 2007 at 10:10 am

    Yes, that girl is on her way to world domination. I’d have wet my pants… It’s rare that those moments happen when you have a way of preserving them. And posting them on the internet for all to see. World domination indeed.

  20. Dave Daniels says

    May 22, 2007 at 10:26 am

    Amazing, the embarrassing things adults do to entertain the little ones. 🙂
    Cute new socks, too.

  21. Jennifer says

    May 22, 2007 at 10:45 am

    That is such a cute video! My kids love to dance too.

    too cute for words

  23. JessaLu says

    May 22, 2007 at 10:58 am

    It’s wonderful to see the next generation learning how to wrap a man around her little finger ;o) Too cute! (oh and the knitting looks good, too!)

  24. Lucia says

    May 22, 2007 at 11:10 am

    Au contraire, ma chere, your knitting is most entertaining. Love the lovely lace. (I can’t watch the video at work as I’m supposed to be working, but I will when I get home.)

  25. Emily says

    May 22, 2007 at 12:00 pm

    Too cute! And I love a nice garter rib sock. Best knitting there is.

  26. Heather R. says

    May 22, 2007 at 12:44 pm

    I love how little kids can make grown men act goofy…

  27. hillary says

    May 22, 2007 at 1:02 pm

    So cute! I really miss that age.

  28. Cookie says

    May 22, 2007 at 1:38 pm

    Now Grandpa and Daddy need to work on wigglin’ in the same direction at the same time. ;^)

    Thanks for the linky. I think I need to add that to my list of ‘need to knit’ items. I like those socks, too.

  29. Jessica says

    May 22, 2007 at 2:15 pm

    LOL! Very cute video. 🙂 And the socks and scarf are nice too. 😉

  30. Teyani says

    May 22, 2007 at 2:20 pm

    loved the wiggle dance! and most of all I loved listening to you giggle in the background.
    Pretty new projects too, btw.

  31. Wanda says

    Love those new socks! Claudia’s Handpaint is some gorgeous yarn.

  32. Kim says

    May 22, 2007 at 7:57 pm

    How cute!! Not only does them man hold your bags…..he dances!! Whoo hoo!

  33. Chris says

    May 22, 2007 at 8:42 pm

    LOL – how cute!! The new projects are nice, too. 🙂

  34. Stephanie says

    May 22, 2007 at 11:14 pm

    Ooooh, I love the new sock yarn. Super yummy.

  35. ~Kristie says

    May 23, 2007 at 12:18 am

    LOVE the color of the socks, and the scarf looks oh so soft, but your granddaughter has stolen the show!! Then again, maybe it was Dale & Brant that stole the show. I think you should all go to a Wiggles concert so Ambrynn can make you all dance there too!!

  36. Debi says

    May 23, 2007 at 12:18 am

    Love the socks and I know who they’re for! 🙂

    Cute vid, that Dale is one cool dude and that’s one adorable grandbaby !

  37. Tracy says

    May 23, 2007 at 10:41 am

    I love the way the color mixed on your sock!

    Can I ask you a question, as I can’t find an answer?
    How and why do you roll yarn into a ball before using?
    Is there anyplace I can go to find out more info on this that you know of?
    Keep up the beautiful projects. Your knitting bag is awesome!

  38. Beth says

    May 23, 2007 at 9:49 pm

    I loved the video and had a good laugh over the big guys having to jump up to dance. 🙂 Your sock looks great! I got upset with my garter rib sock and ripped it out. 🙂

  39. Carrie says

    May 26, 2007 at 1:19 am

    Wow–I think that we may have started a pair of garter rib socks on the same day. Eerie! I love the yarn you’re using, the colors are great. Oddly enough, my yarn is called “sailor girl” (it’s navy and pink)–so both yarns have a pseudo-military name. Double eerie!

  40. J.P. says

    May 27, 2007 at 4:12 am

    That “boot camp” yarn is amazing. I love those colors!

If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good for, it’s my sourdough game. I actually started learning about making sourdough bread a week before the stay at home orders thanks to @sprboston as he shared his starter and recipe and technique with me. Since then I have kept Mama Cass fed and alive and have baked many loaves of bread. This one might be my best one yet. I did the final proof in the fridge for 24 hours and baked it from its cold state. Great spring and ear and crumb, it was delicious with dinner tonight. #sourdough #sourdoughbread #lookatthatcrumb #lookatthatear #homebakedbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest
