Knitting, frogging, knitting...

Still working on the Mystic Light Shawl. I am 7 lines from being finished with Part I. Mind you, the Mystery KAL part is already complete and lots of people have it done, but I'm still plugging along. I can't tell you how many times I've frogged. I've finally gotten a clue and have been using life lines. At least I don't have to rip the whole thing anymore. It is very pretty but quite a challenge for a newbie to lace. But, I'm determined to get it right.

I've also worked on socks for Jake. The socks turned out cute. They have little cables on them. He was so excited for me to knit him purple socks. He wore them once and then said he was done. Figures. I'll have to put them on with his crocs. Speaking of shoes, I had to get new ones for Jake as he ripped the toe out of each shoe of the ones we got last month. This time I got him some Spiderman shoes. He doesn't really know who Spiderman is but the light up shoes were the ultimate draw. He is in a size 9 now! Unbelievable.

I took Jake hiking this weekend as Greg was at a fishing tournament. He was so excited to go hiking. He hiked 3 miles! Not bad for a 2 year old. I told him we were going for pizza afterward and he was equally as excited. He must have really worked up an appetite. Prior to the hike I mentioned pizza and he threw a fit saying he didn't want any. LOL
