I made this yukta for my daughter.  I know this isn't the best picture but it shows the sleeves the best.  I made it because we were going to go to a summer festival then didn't make it.  Sadly it was a bit to small when I made it and now she has grown.

Yesterday I listened to all my podcasts and caught up on any that had new episodes.  A few did not because of the holiday and that is understandable.  I said I was going to listen to Wild Ideas but I just don't feel like it so I listened to Knitting in Circles.  As stupid as it sounds my biggest problem with it is I can't block out the slight "k" sound she adds to the end of "ing" words.  I know I have issues and I'll get over it, it will just take time.  Today is kdrama day and I think I will start a new one called Let's Eat.

I had the toe started for my daughter's socks but yesterday I got three heart repeats done.   For her size that is almost the whole foot, the heel starts in the middle of the next heart.  I'm using the "sweet tomato" heel, which is done in short row wedges, and I can't remember how many wedges I did. I know it was at least three.  I'll just do it till it matches the first one.  For my shawl I ripped it out and started over.  I'll work on that today and count the stitches carefully.  I have a little tin with a row counter bracelet and most of my stitch markers in it and I know I put it somewhere safe but I can't remember where that safe place it.  I need to get organized.

I'm not one for making resolutions so I didn't outside of trying to do a little better every day.  I feel like making new changes when the weather is warm and things are growing.  It's to cold and snowy I feel like I should be part bear and climb under the covers and sleep.  That being said I do have some projects I want to do with the kids so we'll see if we can get to them.  The first is to bundle up and take a short walk to a spot where we can take a picture.  I want to take a picture on the 1st (or as close to it as possible) every month and at the end of they year have some neat pictures of the changing seasons.  I want to take the Christmas tree down today.  We made the "thank you" cards but they aren't written out. Also the fun one is making play dough.  I have a recipe for home made play dough that I want to try and I know my son at least wants to do it. 

I'm going to give my kids names for ease of sentences.  These are not their real names but close enough.  My daughter will be Amey (pronounced Amy, it was her idea) and my son will be Mooky.  Spell checker doesn't like either of those.  lol

I'm going to try to take a bunch of picture today because I'm running out of pictures. 
See you tomorrow.
