So this evening I finished DS's 1st sock. And it fits him. Yay!! Now I have to make a 2nd that is the same size and we'll be in business.

We went to a neighborhood park today after lunch and had a wonderful time playing in the sand and sliding, etc. I read a bit and finished my book. I also found out that the author, Amy Stewart, has a new book and a new blog. I haven't seen the new one yet, but I am interested in vermicomposting and one of these days even plan to get one (a vermicomposter, I mean), once I have a garden to use it with.

In stash increasing news, I have decided on some yarns for Accordion and now I simply have to wait for the funds to be made available (i.e. payday :) ) And then I can get started. I really want to have the materials before we go out of town so that I have something to work on on the trip. Which reminds me, does anyone have any traveling with knitting (and preschoolers!) advice? I'm sure I will be using circulars, but who knows.

Speaking of traveling, I am going to have to buy DS his very first winter coat. I'm hunting through eBay for a good, cheap deal on a decent, preferably Land's End since they fit DS best, coat. Buying new off the rack is silly since he will use it for about 2 1/2 weeks this winter while we are in Tennessee. And then back to SoCal where it will sit in the closet. Unless we brave a trip to Big Bear or Lake Arrowhead this winter, which I doubt will happen.
