Last night I decided to work on my swap socks. Arrrggghhh I was at the right length, ready to decrease for the toe when I discovered that the foot of the sock was looking a little odd. So I counted. 1, 2, 3, 4,......39????? How did I get 8 extra stitches on the third needle???? I wish that I could show you what they looked like but pictures ruin surprises that and it's nice to keep photographic evidence of my embarrassments to a minimum. So I frogged about one inch.Oh wait.. I know how this happened....looks like I can't tell DH Tink's cure for baldness and knit at the same time. BTW DH has a full head of hair...wink wink!
This weekend is full of wonderful things and I'm looking forward to it. Saturday we have a wedding to attend. It's a fancy affair that will probably turn into a wild and crazy event. We lent the groom to be our copy of My Big Fat Greek Wedding as a training aid. This event will likely take up all Saturday.
On Sunday we are taking the kids to something that will blow them away. The Canadian touring company of Phantom of the Opera is in Ottawa until Sept. 9th. DH and I are taking the kids and can't wait to see their reaction to a stage presentation as grandiose as this one. DH and I saw Phantom twice in Montreal about 15 years ago.
All three of the kids love the music to Phantom. My oldest even knows all the words (and even does the voices) to the soundtrack. We bought the movie a couple years ago and after the first time, seeing the movie, they played Phantom for about 2 weeks. It will be interesting to see how the stage production does to and for them.
ME: Hmmm I wonder if I should bring any knitting to work on while watching Phantom?
DH: I don't see why not? (yah gotta love this guy)
ME: I could work on a sock but I think that I should work on something a bit more fancy.
DH: You should bring Woolworth and get a picture of him watching the performance. (the man deserves another sweater just for suggesting this)
I don't know if Woolworth is able to sit still for Phantom. Maybe I'll appease him and take him to the wedding. If the wine flows freely enough, no one will notice his antics.
I told DH that he's taking me out tonight...not sure what we're doing but after yesterday, I deserve it. I took the kids school supply shopping. Need I say more? (If I do then you are obviously not a parent)
So until next time
Yours in Yarn,
The Fibreholic

Too bad about the socks, I've been there myself.
Sounds like you'll be having a fun and festive weekend, and don't think that we're not all jealous of your DH!
Shame about the socks - although in a dreadful moment of scadenfreude, it gives me hope that even the best sock-knitters amongst us lose it every so often ;-)
Australian weddings tend to be a bit borning - I love going see how people form other backgrounds / cultures do it. Hope yours was fun! And that Woolworth behaved himself....
