Babysitting

This week, I got to babysit for Cala. She is about 18 months old now and I was her midwife. She was the reason I started knitting again - a good midwife sits in the background during labour and keeps out of the way and knitting is a very useful activity while you are waiting for events to unfold. Hers was a delicious birth and she is growing each day into a wonderful little person due to her lovely parents. This was my first babysitting gig and we had a good time.

She has very small feet.

Knitting was lovely too - Charlie has finished George's pullover and Dorothy has made another marvel for Angus

And we are all eagerly awaiting Saturday, when the Sock Knitting Lady is coming to demonstrate her Knitting Machine for us! Pictures of that - I promise.

You just have to hope the midwife only manages to complete a couple of rows.

hello mother love, i'm commenting on your blog while my feet dry before work after a soggy trip up the gloucester road to buy bulghar wheat. Matt and I are plotting a good knitting (or crochet) thing- glow in the dark juggling balls! (he is teaching me to juggle- I progressed to 2 balls yesterday) glow in the dark yarn exists because I googled it but I can't find anywhere that sells it and crochet juggling ball patterns exist but I cant quite understand them. This is a good idea is it not mother?
I love you.
