A Little Project for a Little Guy

This past June Dave and I drove to Florida to visit with my parents. While there my mom had a clear out of all the leftover yarn from her many, many knitting projects and sent a trash bag full of yarn home with me. There were several skeins of light blue yarn and I thought it would make a lovely sweater for our youngest grandson Harrison. I had the sweater knitted and only had to finish the neck, I went off to get my size 5 circular knitting needles and could find them no where, I found a packet for them, so know I owned a pair at some point in time. I had circular knitting needles in many sizes, but no size 5, I thought perhaps double pointed needles would work, but needed five and only had four. Dreading a trip to JoAnne Fabrics, I decided to order the needles online. So, Sunday evening I placed my order on Amazon, and by lunchtime Monday the needles arrived, amazingly quick delivery. I finished up the sweater on Monday evening and was able to give it to Harrison on Tuesday evening at our oldest grandsons football game. I think Harrison looks adorable in his blue sweater, now we need some cooler weather so he can wear it without feeling like a boiled lobster.

Yesterday, when Patrick and Charles arrived home from school Charles helped mix up a batch of chocolate chip cookies. I put a batch of cookies in the oven to bake and ran out to check the mailbox, when I returned to the kitchen I was amused to find Charles waiting patiently in front of the oven. The boys really enjoyed their afternoon snack.
