Sickness, knitting..

I don't have much to offer for the past couple of days. We did get a nice surprise visit from this cutie, Brendan, his sister Marissa, and their mom Lisa. Other than that we have been sick. David actually stayed home from work yesterday he was feeling so bad and I wasn't feeling so well myself. We thought Alexa was sick too since she slept in until 10 in the morning and then took a three hour nap. Then she stayed up until 1:30 in the morning. She is wide awake and happy this morning and on her way to school.
Other than that I am still knitting. A pair of socks for David. My first Fair Isle knitting (where you are carrying two yarns at once) This is a bit challenging but a good learning opportunity. I am also making a short sleeved sweater knit from the top down in the round - so no seams to sew up which is great. I learned two useful knitting expressions from my knitting friend Julie. A project that you have ripped out completely is called frogged, because you rip-it rip-it rip-it. And if you just unknit a little bit it is called tinking. (knit spelled backward) A project that came out badly is an UGH - this is a label on the Ravelry knitting site.
