Here is the back of the sweater.  It's still not blocked but I held it up stretched out to my husband's back and it seems like it might be o.k.   Even if the measurements turn out right I may still make the larger size for the front since he like s to wear his clothes looser than the pattern.  I still haven't started the sleeves.  It's not as pink as it looks in the picture.

I'm still reading Franklin Habit's blog.  I admit I'm skimming some, they just aren't my thing.  He does the most beautiful lace work and his thoughts on some things are very interesting.  I'm up to 2011 and as he jets around more doing classes he doesn't write as much so I am hoping to be done today and I can go back to Running Man and/or podcasts.

I have been thinking about my camera.  It's such a step up from what I had that I was thinking of it as something with more adjustments and wondering why it wasn't doing what I wanted.  I also need to keep in mind that photographers take lots of pictures but only some are shown.  I'm sure for every one that I see and "oh that's nice" there are a least ten that don't make the cut.  There are also things like tripods and lighting that I don;t have that make a big difference.  I need to be patient and take lots more pictures and figure out how to get what I want.

Kids are home and so far we are doing fairly well with school work.  Amey is writing a story based on inspiration from a paint chip and Mooky is working on double digit addition with carrying (I think they call it "regrouping" now).  I was hoping they could play outside but it's a bit overcast so we'll see. It took forever to get them up and moving today so tomorrow I will get them up a little earlier.  I don't want them to get to far off the school schedule.  It's time for Mooky to practice his shoe tying and Amey to work on her multiplication facts so I will end here and try to have some progress for you tomorrow.
