We went to a party held by some good friends of ours. They just got married this summer, just bought a new house, and just announced they are pregnant! That's a lot for two people to do in 6 months! Anyway, we wanted to go because we had been so busy this holiday season and I had just received the news that my uncle had died. I wanted something to take my brain off all the craziness; a New Years Eve party with good friends, sounded like a good idea. We had a great time chatting, eating, and just hanging out. About 10 minutes until midnight, we turned on the TV to watch Dick Clark's program. We counted down at one minute, but 10 seconds into the countdown, one of our friends said, "Hey, my phone says there is only 10 seconds left?!?" Another friend checked his phone and said the same thing. We realized as the ball dropped that the boys had rewound the tv to re-watch something earlier that night and no one had ever forwarded the tv back to real time! We missed midnight by 45 seconds. In lieu of missing the actually new years, we rewound the tv six times and celebrated six more times! Oh the joys of technology!
Yesterday, Jerek and I went sledding and played in the snow. We finally got a good snowfall and Jerek was dying to go play in it. I wish I had the tolerance to the cold that he had so I could stay out with him the whole time. I made it a good 45 minutes though!
I also got the body of another sweater done. It is the Telemark Sweater by Erika Flory on Ravelry.com. I LOVE this pattern as it is so quick and easy. I substituted the cabling from Newborn Top-Down Sweater for the garter stitch that is suppose to go about half way down the sweater. My cabling went all the way to the bottom.
