And that is exactly how that project languished until the other day. Finally, however, I had two pairs of girlie bootees, all sewn up and one trimmed with ribbon.</p> <p>Really, they&#39;re so quick to knit it is ridiculous that it took me this long to get around to it. It didn&#39;t help that I&#39;m not exactly (or even approximately)&#160;sure when my step-niece is expecting to deliver, but that&#39;s not much of an excuse.</p> <p>Now, I just need to package them up and send them on their way to Wellington to my brother, so that he can deliver them. Hopefully they won&#39;t still be sitting on my desk in a few weeks like <a href="http://shessassy.vox.com/library/post/bootee-full.html">last set of bootees</a>&#160;waiting for a trip to the post office for stamps (I knew it was a bad idea to get a non-prepaid package to send)!</p> <div at:enclosure="asset" at:xid="6a00b8ea07179a1bc000e3989d48b80003 6a00b8ea07179a1bc000e3989d31ee0001" at:format="strip-vertical" at:align="left" class="enclosure enclosure-left enclosure-strip enclosure-strip-vertical" style="text-align: center; float: left;"> <div class="enclosure-inner" style="width: 130px; margin: 5px; border: 1px solid; text-align: center;"><a href="http://shessassy.vox.com/library/photo/6a00b8ea07179a1bc000e3989d48b80003.html" class="enclosure-strip-link" title="Three Balls Of Yarn"><img src="http://a0.vox.com/6a00b8ea07179a1bc000e3989d48b80003-120pi" alt="Three Balls Of Yarn" class="enclosure-strip-image" style="margin: 5px; border: 0;" /></a><br /><a href="http://shessassy.vox.com/library/photo/6a00b8ea07179a1bc000e3989d31ee0001.html" class="enclosure-strip-link" title="Calorimetry"><img src="http://a6.vox.com/6a00b8ea07179a1bc000e3989d31ee0001-120pi" alt="Calorimetry" class="enclosure-strip-image" style="margin: 5px; border: 0;" /></a><br /></div> </div> <!-- end enclosure --> <p>In other knitting news, my first ball of hand-dyed yarn is becoming yet another Calorimetry head scarf. I&#39;m very please with how it is turning out! Socks are on the go, too.</p> <p>I&#39;ve invited my parents to visit me this weekend, and at this point it looks like I&#39;ll meet them in Papakura, where a <a href="http://greatpapakuraknitout.co.nz/">Knit Out</a>&#160;is being held. Dad has a golf thing on Friday, so they&#39;re thinking of coming down on the Saturday morning; not a lot of point them coming here from Rotorua in the morning, and then us going over to Papakura together in time for the event starting at two in the afternoon. So, I need to take a look at bus or train timetables. The last time I was on a train was a trip from Hamilton to Christchurch - I can&#39;t imagine that an hour or so away could be half as bad!</p> <p>Life has been pretty quiet. My brocolli has gone to seed, I have more silverbeet&#160;than I&#39;ve ever eaten, and my houseplants are still alive. I started being the &quot;weigher&quot; at my WW meeting. Otherwise, I&#39;m a little sad, a little bit angry, and disappointed, but I&#39;m OK. Knitting is keeping me out of trouble, and Ravelry is keeping me in knitting. </p> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://shessassy.vox.com/library/post/done-bootees-more-knitting.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00b8ea07179a1bc000e3989d552a0005?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> life knitting finished progress dying bootees calorimetry
