Sharing A Scarf

The kids started school today !
(Well, it will actually be yesterday since I'm not posting this 'til midnight !)

For Alia, it was the first day of Prep. (Kindergarten in the States) She was alright getting ready, dropping Jono off and even getting her photo taken by her new teacher. But, as all the parents were standing around and the time was drawing nearer, she finally lost it. She started crying and we weren't able to console her. In the end, when it was time for all the parents to leave, she was still crying (very loudly !) and we just had to peel her off my arm and leave her with the teachers aide. She did settle down and had a good day in the end. I asked her if she's going to be able to start the day without crying ... the verdict is still out on that one !

I went into work to discover that my computer was not working .... about an hour later, the IT guy had it up and running and my day progressed nicely from there.

After school, I sent the kids into the back yard pool to run off their excess energy ! I sat in the family room, where I could see them, watched a cooking show then some of the Australian open tennis while I worked on the scarf that I am knitting.

I am a beginner. My Mom taught me to knit two years ago when she was visiting me here but then I put it down and forgot how. A quick refresher course while we were just there and I'm back on track. Today, I had a look at a few video tutorials on line and I now know how to cast on and cast off !

I found a really neat site too that I think you should all go visit ... it's called The Purl Bee ... loved it !!

Well, Rory just called out and said there is a NCIS on that we haven't seen so I'm going to go watch with him and work some more on my knitting !!
