Oops — almost forgot to blog, and it’s only day three of NaBloPoMo — well, day two for me, since I missed day one. Anyways…

So I’m learning to knit. I made a bee-yootiful scarf for Robby’s girlfriend’s birthday [which turned out to be the day Rusty died. Weird.] It wasn’t my mad knitting skillz that made it so nice, but the yarn: gorgeous, rich, wine-colored chenille. I’d take a pic of it and show you, but they’re sleeping right now and I hate to tiptoe into their room and snoop around. It’s kind of awkward when they wake up and ask me what I’m doing, you know? So I’ll show you later. Anyway, she loved it! I was happily surprised because Emily is so low-key and guarded, you never know what she’s thinking. I think she was very depressed for a lot of the time I’ve known her but now she seems to be coming out of her shell, which makes me really happy to see.

Ah, they’re up now. Here it is:

Purty, ain’t it. That little success has encouraged me to go hog-wild with knitting-and-other-crafty plans. I’ll tell you about some of those tomorrow.
