One off and one down

Well summer is officially over it seems. I always like it when the school year is in session. I love the routine of getting up and having breakfast with my son, making his lunch and taking him to school. There is something calming about the whole morning. I can't believe that my kiddo just started 8th grade. It sounds so cliche.. but they grow up so fast. He wasn't to pleased about the first day of school photo shoot. I told him he only has four more to go after this...

I hope everyone had a nice long weekend. I managed to get something done while being a shut in to avoid the heat wave. I give you one Monkey...

Please ignore the crazy shaping. It's not the sock, it's the blocker...

Making one of those things out of a wire hanger isn't nearly as easy as it seems it should be.. as you can tell. Anyway, you get the idea. One sock down and one to go.

The first three hours of my knitting will be done to Big Brother After Dark. I have to officially admit that I like the show Big Brother 8 way too much. I got hooked on it in July when I was visiting my friend in Washington. Now I can't get enough of it. Thankfully for my knitting they not only have it on regular TV three times a week but they also air three hours of uncensored footage on ShoToo from midnight to 3am that I DVR every night. Knitting to mindless guilty pleasure TV is fun fun fun! Go E.D! I finished up my sock watching the DVR but managed to take a break to have some of this...

My famous homemade cookies and cream. I'm almost ice creamed out at this point.

After I finished my sock I hopped over to the Woolgirl blog and saw that they are going to have a sock kit for the movie A Christmas Story. I had to make sure to get in on that. They still had a couple of spots open as of last night so if you are interested make sure to drop her an email.

Time to turn on the DVR and cast on for sock two. My goal is to have it done by 3pm tomorrow. This is the only time in my life I've ever thought having one foot might not be so bad.

Oh my god! I LOVE the colors on your Monkey sock! What a lucky pal you have - it's gorgeous! And how crafty of you to make a blocker out of a hanger, although Joan Crawford wouldn't approve (NOOO WIIIIRRRREEEEE HAANNNGGGEERRSSSSS!!!!!!)

That ice cream looks awesome. Do you have an ice cream maker?
