The day started out well ... I got my butt out of bed and all of our butts out the door to go to the Y for a quick workout. I took my knitting and only got a few funny looks from people while working on a mittlet for Tyme while chugging away on a stationary bike. You can't beat 15 rows of knitting while burning 250 calories.
It was too windy to play outside (wind chill of 22 is a little much for me) so I took the girls to Chik Fil A for some cheap thrills on their indoor playground. Carmen makes friends easily and quickly and always has fun, even if all she's going is climbing up and going down the same slide repeatedly. I worked some more on knitting and talked to fellow moms while Carolyn had fun watching the other kids play.
We got home and I was able to finish Tyme's mittlet before he got off of work. I'm really happy with the way that they came out! I can see where I would change a stitch here or there, but, overall, they look nice and are very comfortable.
I finally got to wish Basia a happy birthday over the phone in the evening, and we've hopefully coordinated a time to meet on Friday. I'm hoping that we don't get snowed or iced in on Thursday night now. I would really like to give her her present before it gets too warm outside!
We pulled out the Wii and played a bit of Boom Blox after the kids went down, drank a margarita each, then went downstairs to watch Tyme play Dragon Age while I did more... knitting... before bedtime. A little obsessed? Maybe. But I have lost 6 pounds and stopped biting my nails, so that's ok.
Here's a photo of a finished fingerless mittlet:
