Lesson Learned

What lesson you may ask?
Don’t Move in the middle of a 12 unit semester of night classes, while your husband also works part time, at the beginning of your sons little league season.
Yea. That.
Long long drawn out story short – we moved – we all (yep, even the kids) – got sick from too much commotion and ended up about a week and a half behind in school and work respectively. Yuck. So, next time, maybe during a vacation – or, really, hopefully NEVER!!!!!! we’ll see.
I have been knitting – not a whole lot since Christmas, but I have – I am in the middle of knitting another beret – it’s lovely and soft and for a friend who ordered it (I promise It’ll be on your head soon V!)
I knit Katie a little sweater vest following this pattern: the cowboy/butterfly/astronaut.
and miss Katie claims to love it, but will only wear it for about 2 minutes at a time and then it ends up on the floor somewhere….maybe we don’t understand the point of a vest yet?
Adrianna on the other hand, WANTS one, and I cannot knit it fast enough for her liking at all. Yep, so I’ve got to get on that.
I know, it doesn’t seem like a lot to be working on does it? And I know, I promised a knitting class per month – I may have to apologize for March – it’s slipped right through my fingers and is continuing to drip… April knit night at my house? I hope that will make up for it. I’ll make cookies and have wine here too…..forgiven? great! 
That’s all for now, a quick check in really, just felt bad for neglecting this thing so badly lately. Hope you are well!!!!!

Yeah, not a great time to move, but is there ever a good time? Wish I could have helped you! Sorry you all got sick too, nasty stuff has been going around. I think we all understand you are busy and so you don’t need to ask forgiveness for not having a class.
I hope you guys are enjoying the new place and increased room! How’s Ally doing? And the chickens?
Work hard!

Moving and being sick and busy sounds horrible. I hope y’all are recovered soon. Maybe your kids and chickens will enjoy this little gift from me to you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ob6TTU1knUM
ps Glad you liked the cowgirl etc vest! I made a bunch of edits to it in response to knitter feedback about a year ago – I’d love to know whether you encountered any problems with it.

Thanks for the video! we’re pretty big muppet fans, so that went over great! I did like the cowgirl vest and I have every intention of posting pics soon! The pattern was great! but i tend to stray a little and only read here and there so i made a few of my own mistakes just by not actually reading – i think you did a great job in the writing of it! thanks!

Love the vest pattern!
I am sorry you all got sick during moving. That sounds awful. I hope the new place will be comfortable and homey soon!
