The Beebs was home sick today (feeling much better now), so we spent a good amount of time sitting on the couch knitting. She’s knitting too. She temporarily rediscovered the fun of knitting and her scarf project from last year. It’s fun to knit with her and to hear her say things like, “Mom! I can even do it if I close my eyes and don’t look at it–for a few stitches.” Yup, me too, just for a few stitches, otherwise we get all kinds of hell.
Lunch was sick-at-home chicken soup, which means pasta boiled in broth from a tetra pack plus carrots and dried thyme. It’s somewhere between for-real chicken soup and ramen, and generally, it’s about what I’m good for.
I am nearly, nearly done with sock number one. I had to unravel it to the colorwork at some point in the gusset because I had to admit it had canckles. I added some wonky decreases, but it fits now.

That is so funny- just the other day I was wondering if I could boil my tortellinis in chicken broth for soup. Thanks for the answer! The knitting looks great. It osunds like a nice day home together. Thanks for the nice comment on the fabric. It appears that the blue might be the favorite colorway right now. It is fun to get people’s feedback!
I secretly loved staying home sick because my mom would do fun activities we normally didn’t have time for (like sewing, movies, etc.) I’m glad you’re daughter is feeling better though.
