Mini Scrubby Loofahs

Here is some knitting, finally. I actually knit all of these up before Indiana Jones walked into my life. The last of the ends were sewn in about twenty minutes ago. They are smaller than your regular sized washcloth. Cast on half the stitches and knit half the length.

I figured this way I would get four scrubbies with the same yarn that would make one big scrubby. Because really, if you had one of these for everyday of the week, that is a lot of yarn. They were also very fast knits.
Pattern: Mini Scrubby Loofahs
From: From the Right Side of My Brain.
Yarns: Sugar n' Cream Cotton and Himalaya Yarns 100% Aloo.

I like the green/brown/white ones. They remind me of Italian ice cream. What's it called, spumoni? Here's one of the white cotton minis. I was able to get two of these out of the leftover yarn from the big scrubby I made before.

Lego Brain

I've been a little caught up in something other than knitting. I know it doesn't seem possible, but it's happened to me. I would almost say that I am obsessed. Okay, maybe that is a little bit too far. I'm just excessively preoccupied with a video game. A few video games actually.We got LEGO Indiana Jones Wii a couple of weeks ago. It is way fun. Then SkyeGuy got me the DS version. In case you have ever wondered, the two games are completely different. Something about graphics and data space. They both follow the same stories, the movies. But they use different scenes and the play is changed to use the touch screen.

I finally have figured out a strategy to playing the LEGO games. Now I have to go back and finish playing the LEGO Star Wars DS. Plus, I totally want the Wii version. Instead of being two different games, it's like one really big game.

I can't stop playing. As you can see, H
aley has an opinion about her Mom hogging all of the game consoles. She wishes I would just work on the Wallis Cardigan.

Addison and Zander

Teddy A and Teddy Z are happy to announce the arrival of Addison and Zander. They were born on Saturday, June 28th.

Here is Addison.
She was 5lb. 15oz. Very happy and very hungry. Haley plans on teaching her how to be a princess ballarina, be fashionable, wear sparkles, and to boss everyone around.Here is Zander.
He was 4lb. 3oz. He had a tube to help him breath the first day, but it came out on Sunday. He's very happy and sleepy. Haley plans on teaching him how to play waterguns, checkers, be fashionable and to boss everyone around.Those are just monitors on both the babies. Heart rate and things like that. They should be home this holiday weekend, so I plan on having more pictures. And adding a lot of baby sweaters to my queue. These kids are just too darn cute.
