When my son was little --- as in 2 and 3 --- he loved  cows.  Holsteins especially, but all cows in general. When I was pregnant with Hannah, someone asked Briton about the baby on the way.  This after my telling him he was going to be a brother, and him asking, "When will she be here?"  He knew from the jump he was going to have a sister, and he always called her "Daisy." These are the socks I wore today in their honor.

The knitting that's keeping me busy and sane: A twisty ruffled scarf: A  zig-zag lace dishcloth : Karin's Wrap  from Lion Brand ins a  Caron  "Latte Cakes" yarn, color Coconut Cream: I'm catsitting again.  Brought Klumk and Nell (yes --- she's been named since she was last here!) to Athens.  Klunk got carsick at both ends (don't know a nicer way to put it) coming back from Atlanta yesterday but is fine now.  Little Bit is still hiding, but will hopefully emerge more quickly than during her last visit.

It's two sticks and a piece of string.  You have to stop and realize that occasionally.  And this is a simple slipped-stitch border.  Pretty. I'm watching the Netflix show " Unbelievable ," and although not everyone could --- or should --- watch it, I'm engrossed.  It's about how rape victims are treated in the wake of their attacks, and how two female detectives try to solve the cases.  Again, it's not for everybody, but its draw for me was the acting of Merritt Wever, Kaitlyn Dever and Toni Collette.  Merritt and Kaitlyn (Wever and Dever!) are two of my absolute favorite actresses.  Collette, of course, is always rather extraordinary.  I'm through 3 of the 8 episodes. Lastly, I placed a Michaels online order for a couple of things my local store didn't have.  When the order came this week, there were also two cakes of Red Heart's  It's A Wrap  yarn.  I have no idea why I ordered two cakes of lace weight yarn, but som...
