I'm done! And it is not bad looking :) It looks nice in the bathroom but Derek asked if he could have it under his desk (sometimes his feet get cold). so i gave it to Derek. I guess i will have to make another one!

Stitches
Jen and I sent to Stitches knitting convention on Saturday. It was a blast. We met Jessy and Casey!
They started Ravelry, a knitting and crocheting community on the internet. That was very cool to, only they did not bring Bob :( (their absolutely adorable dog who frequents Ravelry). This year i did not buy very much because i have not used ANY of the yarn i bought last year.

Derek flying his new kite
The boys got the kite up several times but it was just to gusty to keep it up.
Derek says, "Thanks Gran for the kite".

At the Park
We went to the park to try out Derek's kite. It was to gusty so instead the boys played on the swings.

Derek's Birthday Party
Wednesday was Derek's birthday. We started at home with pizza and soda, then went to jump at the Sky High Sports and then back to the house for cake, ice cream and gifts. He got a DS game from friends, a cool kite from Gran, a Wii game from Mom&Dad and an awesome book about the universe from Grandmommy and Papa.

Worms are hard to keep alive
Well worm composting is really hard. They say newspaper is good for bedding but for me it just won't work. Most my worms have died and much of the food started roting. I was really good about not giving them to much but they did not seem to eat it. The only thing they really liked was the coffee grounds. they did make some babies but i never saw any worm castings (Poo). I set the rest free in the back yard. I hope some of them live. If i try again i might get the worm bedding that they sell with the worms or maybe a small layer of dirt. As with plants i can't seem to keep them alive. So far the biggest thing i can keep alive is a guinea pig. :( Oh well.
Max on a hike
The whole family went on a hike with Max's cub scout troop. It was a great day for it.

We have a visiter
This scary BIG guy showed up a couple days ago crawling across the dining room table. The boys and i decided he would probably like it better outside ;)
Worm Babies
I am pleased to announce the arrival of BABIES. Lots and lots of worm babies. Each "egg" usually has up to 5 ity bity worms in it. I think they are more like cocoons actually. Well shucks i'm not sure what they are, we really did not do so much with reproduction when i worked in the Lab.

Big Ass Needles
I finally got some needles for the rug i'm making. I put them next to some size 6 double pointed needles for perspective. They are size 35's. Now i just need to finish ripping the sheet. I have not decided if i am going to sew the strips together or not. I am thinking i will even though it will take longer. In the end it may speed up my knitting because i won't have to worried about starting new "yarn" all the time.

Mom's hat
I am almost at the decreases. I have got the pattern in my head and fingers so i have not made any mistakes since the bead row which i fixed. The hat is really turning out nice. I still can't figure out how the pattern is making itself. It's bizarre. The beads really add a nice touch.
