How many hours? How many Swatches??
Ok.. as you will recall my goal was 16 swatches in 16 days. Well if you count that two colour hat from the other day as a swatch as I did it looks like I have two more to go..
And.. well look over there.. last I looked it was about 19 hours left..
Of course in that 19 hours I also have to:
cook dinner
get the family to clear the table after dinner
wash some dinner dishes
get two kids to take showers and wash their hair
clip the nails of the child with sensory avoidance..at least when it comes to that…
get four kids to bed
let the dog out
let the dog in
feed the dog
decide on the final stitch pattern to try
knit a swatch on the needles for that stitch pattern
quell a two year old who wants up while I am typing
sleep….perhaps….
get everyone up
feed them breakfast
get them all dressed and ready for church
let the dog out
let the dog in
feed the dog
go to Sunday school
go to church
wish I was on nursery duty so I had another hour to knit
come home and make lunch
water the plants
knit knit knit
rescue camera from same two year old and get pork chops out of the oven
knit knit knit
probably by then write and entry for my new Lion Blog on the Lion Brand site
get the two year old to take a nap
wish I could take a nap
finish cleaning the boys’ room to get it ready for the four year old’s new bed
(and that is after an hour and a half of cleaning today!)
knit knit knit
When is the closing ceremony?
look over lessons for home school next week…
enter lessons and attendance for last week…
knit and extra swatch cause I am sure someone will not count the hat..
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And that doesn’t include diaper changes and getting the four year old to go potty.. or take care of it when he doesn’t make it! ……hehehheh
You will also notice no where does it mention anything like brushing teeth, hair getting dressed etc.. so you can pretty much assume I will be a stinking,wrinkled mismatched overtired mess by the time the flame goes out.. but hey..it’s worth it!

The honeycomb stitch pattern can be used to make just about anything you want as well.It is worked over a multiple of 6 stitches so keep that in mind when choosing your looms!
