Even after a baby sweater, a hat and a pair of booties, there was still a sizeable amount of yarn left from my skein of Jitterbug. So, in the interest of using up the excess, I cast on a pair of socks for The Youngest.
She actually keeps socks on her feet, a first in this family as far as three-year-olds go, so I know that they'll be of use.
On the book front, I've been reading The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy aloud to the kids at night.
I grew up watching the BBC series as a kid.
We had it on a VHS taped from TV.
I didn't actually read it until I was in High School, but loved it then as well.
The kids are really digging it. They are a couple of hoopy froods.
As a bonus (or drawback?) we have all been singing So Long and Thanks for All the Fish on a loop.
Joining Ginny and Nicole this morning.
What's on your needles?
I love using up yarn after I finish a project. I feel like I got a good bargain that way!
ReplyDeletei love making kid socks, i wish any one of my children would keep socks on! LOL
ReplyDeleteGood for you using up your sock yarn! I totally would have thrown it in a scrap pile. I loved Hitchhiker in high school too!
ReplyDeleteI love that book!!! Way to use up your whole skein!!
ReplyDeleteLove that color yarn!
ReplyDeleteWe have the complete, increasingly ill named, trilogy (with all five books, plus a short story about Zaphod Beeblebrox. Can you believe we haven't introduced our kids to them? I should get on that.
