Finally - some knitting!!!

So I started on the Fuzzy Feet. OMG the booties are HUGE!!! I just finished the 1st one last night while I watched Meet Me in St Louis (That was the 1st musical I was ever in. It was based on the movie and was decades before the one that hit Broadway.) Anyway, I'll post a picture of it on DH's foot later so you can see how truly big it is. It really doesn't take that long since it is knit on 10.5 (6 1/2mm) needles. I did have to learn a new heel technique though. This is a turned heel, I've only done the waste yarn square inset variety. The directions were a touch confusing, but then I figured it out and it was a breeze.

Around this time of year for some reason (and it has been the last two years and this year as well) I start to attach more to my Jewishness and start to mentally separate from Waldorf ideology. (Have I mentioned that I am a fan of much of the Waldorf philosophy of child education?) Not so much as to throw it out completely, but it goes on the back burner while I focus elsewhere. We've been working with Ezra a bit on Hebrew lately (great website BTW Children's Ulpan) which means my Hebrew has to get up to speed. A lot of my education energy has been focused there. Soon it will be on Pesach and the 4 questions. And IÂ’m less and less concerned with discouraging interest in letters and words as he shows interest. While I havenÂ’t regressed to workbooks yet (haha, that would be REALLY unlikely) I do answer his questions rather than try to redirect. So, suffice it to say, I am back on the Hebrew learning track. I'm about the speaking level of a 3 year old I'd guess. Well, maybe a slightly delayed 3 year old.
