My 23 year old nephew has been staying with me since Christmas. He'll be leaving next week Wednesday or Thursday for Alaska. He's fun to have around in small doses -- a few weeks works out great. I get to cook all of those guilty pleasures. For example, last night we had tacos for dinner. I can't even remember the last time I had tacos but they were tasty, if a bit salty. Whatever I cook he loves, of course, since HE didn't have to make it nor buy it nor clean it up. I made turkey and dumplings with the leftover Christmas turkey. Oh yeah. Good? yup. Would I have made it had I been alone? Not on your life. And I have a pal to watch football with. Although he's been working gawd awful hours -- 5 am to 4 pm so he's asleep by 9.
Not much to report knitting-wise. I tried to cast on two mitts to do in the round on two needles. I know I have done it before but couldn't for the life of me get it right. I finally got on Knitty and downloaded some pictures. I'm taking dad to the doctor so I'm going to get it done while I'm waiting for him. I am making MORE mitts for friends. I know I know I said I wasn't going to do any more but I'm a sucker for a compliment. Anyway I am thinking if I can get them going two at a time it shouldn't be as painful.
