Let Me Entertain You


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!

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

    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!

    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.

    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 )

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

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

    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!

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

    Loved the dance!

    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?

    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.

    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.

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

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

    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!)

    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.)

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

    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.

    LOL! Very cute video. :) And the socks and scarf are nice too. ;)

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

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

    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 Said,

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

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

    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!

    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. :)

    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!

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