Of all the people who had to stay on, why’d it have to be her? I’m sure she’s a fine person with many redeeming qualities, but the the one that gets my goat is her “I hate all children and isn’t it so amusing that I do? Are you with me girls?”<\/i> attitude. And it comes up in conversation which doesn’t have immediate and obvious ties to kids, so it’s difficult to avoid. Fortunately, I have no problems indicating that I disagree with her. You know, what with my MOTHERHOOD and all. So it’s bad form for a mom to bring her 8-month-old to the booksamillion to sit and knit, but you can bring your Chihuahua in a big handbag and let it loose in the store? WTF??<\/p>\n
Aaaaanyway. It was nice to see familiar faces and to talk with new people. I was, of course, knitting a Jayne hat, so there was some discussion of that. A lot of people ask how many I’ve knitted, so I went back through my database and figured out that as of last night, if my numbers are correct, I’ve made 202 finished Jayne hats. That’s over the span of about a year.<\/p>\n
It amuses me to picture them all in one place. I feel certain that if we saw 202 Jaynes walking down the street, we’d definitely know they weren’t afraid of anything.<\/p>\n
Now that I’ve gotten two more unfinished objects (blue lace scarf<\/a> and Freak Flag<\/a>) out of the way, of course I had to crank up another one.

\nMy daughter sleeps with a hot water bottle every night. One night a few months ago when she was feeling cranky and sick, I suggested it to her, and she really took to it. Even on the warmest night, she insists we fill it up with hot water. I told her a couple of days ago that I’d make a cover for it.<\/p>\n
