Knitting stuff
So, last night I ripped out the (gift) sock I had started (it was too big) and cast on again and then missed a stitch, which f'ed up my rib pattern, plus I hate the needles because they're 8" instead og 6" because I broke one of my 6" bamboos the other day. So I picked up the scarf I had cast on and realized that I was hopelessly off on the second repeat of the lace pattern. I ripped the whole thing out before I realized that I had just transposed one row incorrectly on to the cards I use to keep track of lace rows* and really only needed to rip back a couple of rows. At that point I decided no one's getting Christmas presents this year. Not even purchased ones.

This morning I cast the scarf back on and have made pretty good progress, and I decided to go ahead and start the sock on 4 dpns (instead of 5). And I loaded up my backpack with books and magazines that have the rest of the patterns I need to finish my Christmas knitting. What can I say? I'm a sucker for presents, and I figure if I don't give any, I won't get any.

Becky update
No pictures today (sorry -- mornings have been a bit rushed...I'll try to get some tomorrow). We think there might be a tooth soon, as she had been eating solids pretty well and now all of a sudden doesn't want to know about it. So we're going to give it a few more days and see what happens there. Otherwise, she's her sweet giggly googly self.
