Time well spent

Posted on | November 30, 2008 | 14 Comments

We spent most of the last week with various members of Tad’s family, and took advantage of as much time as possible with one in particular:

Me & AB

Our sweet niece, AB. What an awesome little person she is! I had plunked down beside her on the couch with a project, just before bedtime, and she asked me “Are you knit-ting?” (her mother knits as well – in fact, her mother is the person who taught me to knit.) “Yes, AB, I’m knitting a sock.” “You knit mittens for Anna Belle?”

How could I refuse?

We went stash diving the next morning for some purple yarn (her favorite color).

AB's Yarn

There goes my theory on Christmas knitting!

I hope whether you were celebrating a holiday last week or not, that you have been having some time well spent too!

    I also really like the new blog layout. Very pretty :)

    I too can never resist a request from a young one to knit something for them!

    What a sweet photo! My girlie LOVES her aunties too. It’s such a fun and special relationship. And oh my gosh – AB’s blankie looks identical to Mina’s, right down to the used-to-be-pink color!

    wow!
    let me look a moment at this elegant, new design – … – I’m in awe! Your header is VERY elegant, and I love the knitting needles! ^-^
    I need a new look, too – can I hire you? ;)

    Indeed your time was well spent (yes, I did get your mail yesterday evening when I came home and I’m happy, thanks!) – how could one resist such a cute niece?!

    Nice to see you – and she is adorable. Except you’re giving her the yarn that is clearly destined only for me.

    And I forgot to say, it was good to see Sarah Bettens (K’s Choice) on your site…she was on Buffy in Season 3 and I’ve loved her since…

    Great photo of you and your niece–she looks like she’s a little pistol! (that’s a compliment!).

    Can’t wait to see what you come up with for her…those two colors look amazing together.

    Like your new look!
