If I can keep up knitting the correct guage (who knows if that will happen?), maybe you'll get it next week. Of course, you know what a procrastinator I am.

You convinced me to try it; usually I just talk about things instead of doing them. So your credit was due you. How's that purse coming, by the way? I had blocked that part out of my memory.

If you remeber correctly I only went to two out of the six classes we signed up for. Apryl, you give me way too much credit here.

She's the one who convinced me to take a knitting class with her a couple/few years ago. To those who know us well, it's probably not surprising that she and I both knit so tightly that it took us an extra long time to make progress on our projects. I finished all but the handles of the purse that I made for class. Then I tried around Christmas 2004 to knit Tiger-colored hats for Hayden and Stephanie. I made only one hat which would have fit no one larger than a 2-year-old. Last year, I made two hats—both of which, even after shrinking in the wash, a giant might have been able to wear—so I never sewed them up the back. A couple of nights ago, I decided to try again. I finally got the gauge pretty on target and knit something that an adult with a normal-sized head could wear. (Summer, can you actually believe that I finished a knitting project?!?) Next is a matching scarf, which should be a lot easier to complete. Maybe I'll even make the handles for that purse and carry it this spring. Maybe. Hayden should be thanking Summer for his hat.
