\nSaturday Twilight sky. It’s been a beautiful day, nice and sunny, but just a little bit cold. Perfect knitting weather, but we’ve been running around too much for knitting.
\nI have been working away at the Shetland Shawl, but it gets a bit disheartening sometimes, because I knit for hours, and it looks like theres little or no progress happening.
\nHere’s where I’m at.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nAbout 20 rows in on the second border. Each row currently has somewhere in the vicinity of 300 stitches, and each row decreases by 2 stitches. Not fast enough!
\nI haven’t touched the Angora Supreme sweater all week, but I have been just a little unfaithful. More on that next time, when I actually remember to take a picture.
\nThat’s about it for the knitting updates.
\nMany of you asked about Em’s dance trophies. So I took some pictures to show you how many she has. For reasons that will become apparent, I didn’t bother to count them.
\nFirst off, the trophy shelf in our living room.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nThese are the “Big Deal” competition trophies. There’s 30 or so of them.
\nThe wall unit in the dining area.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nExam trophies.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nThe other shelf in the dining room. (I really need to clean that glass!), more exam trophies, and a few special ones, like “Most Promising Baby” from an eisteddfod when she was only 5 or so, and encouragement awards and the like.
\nNow we enter her room. All of these are just competition trophies (1st, 2nd 3rd and so on).
\nTop of the wardrobe.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\n3 or 4 deep up there.
\nNarrow bookshelf beside the wardrobe.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nMain bookshelf.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nThe one in the centre of the top shelf is a teddy bear instead of a cup or a dancer. It was the first competition trophy she ever won, and is still her favourite to his day.
\nThe floor in front of the main bookshelf.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nThe floor in front of the second bookshelf and the bottom shelf.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nSecond shelf of the second bookshelf, along with her mini Blythes and her candles.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nAnd there’s some more boxed up out in the garage.
\nI have no idea how many there are in total. She used to keep count, but got bored and gave up.
\nIn a way it’s a bit sad, because she doesn’t get excited about winning them any more. She doesn’t really compete to win though, quite often as soon as she’s left the comp, she’s forgottem what she got for each section!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
