Still alive
Still alive, folks. Just crazy busy, with the turbulence of school starting.
Am very happy to hear that the mill is FINALLY going to be spinning more of my Jayne hat colors. This is good, because I had to resort to ordering skeins earlier this month, and they had knots in them. I can work around it myself when I’m knitting, but I can’t send out kits of knotty yarn, some of my kit clients have never knitted anything before! I’ve only had the yellow ordered from the mill since April. APRIL, people. I know they know who we are, so they should be spinning this stuff up regularly, gorramit it! I thought I might be overordering, but now I think I need to up my order even more.
Emily’s doing fine in third grade, based just on the first two days. There was a depressing moment yesterday, when on her very first day, one of the girls we had made a point of moving into her class with her so she’d have a friend told her on the playground, “I don’t want to be your friend anymore.” (Depressing for me, but Emily seemed okay with it.) The teacher pointed out that they were all friends, because they were all on the same team. I know it won’t keep the kids from forming cliques, but maybe it’ll help. The teacher did say that she saw them hugging later. And Emily did talk about playing with her today. So hopefully it was just a momentary thing. Emily’s sharing more interesting moments with me about her friends, like “X told me not to put the feathers in my pocket, but the teacher said no.” Meaning that she picked up some goose feathers from the playground and stuck them into her breast pocket like a nerd with a pocket protector full of pens, and another kid told her not to do that, but then the teacher said it was fine. Emily told me this when I complimented her on her feathers when she got into the car today. I guess they were there all afternoon.
Lots of run-on sentences means Tvini is sleepy. Hopefully there’ll be a post with pictures, of which I have many, later.
Oh, Turtlegirl76 and
