…they are gone! Let’s all have a moment of silence for Daiquiri Ice from Baskin Robbins. I’ve been enjoying this treat since my days behind their counter in high school (early 80s) and when I found out it was only 2 pts in weight watchers I loved it even more. But today….oh what a sad day….I found out it has passed away and I wasn’t even aware!
I tried the new Lime Daiquiri Ice…and all I can say is Blech! Oh, what a sad day!
I created this challenge for him 2 weeks ago. And for two weeks I’ve encouraged him and challenged him, hugged him, prodded him, nagged him …. but mainly I’ve encouraged him.
So, what is his first reaction to meeting the challenge? “I TOLD YOU I COULD DO IT!“
EXCUSE ME?!?! No, you did not! On the average you said “I can’t” “I won’t” “I’ll never”
I was the one who said you could do it!!!
Grumble, grumble….
Well, at least I get ice cream too! 😉
That boy! He loved those socks so much he wore them all day long…even though it was 104 outside!! And, today he insisted on wearing them again because it’s picture day! LOL I started to protest because (1) he wore them all day yesterday and (2) pictures are of your FACE – not your feet. And then I remember you are only in first grade once…let it go Momma….let it go! (sigh)
So, this is the only picture he and his socks would hold still for!
Pattern: Garter Rib from Charlene Schurch’s “Sensational Knitted Socks” book
Yarn: “Night Lights”, Superwash Merino sock yarn from CavyShops
Needles: Lace Addis #2, Magic Loop, 2 at once, Cuff down
The August socks – aka J3’s Garter Rib Socks – for the “Sock A Month KAL” are DONE!!!
I finished them at Knit Night last night but when I got home, J3 was in bed already…so I showed them to him first thing this morning. They fit great! So great in fact, he never took them off! So, no photos until tonight – I hope. I want to photograph them outdoors so you all can see the great colors!
PHEW – glad they are done!! I’ll post details on the socks when I post the pictures!
…but it’s my friend’s….and so I’m playing along:
