Why?

Because I decided to help my sisters out with summer holiday child care I’d have Little Pea and Little Wisp along on my Tuesday with Mummy W.

It was chaos…but good chaos mostly 🙂

(Although the lovely cashier in Tesco who is starting to feel like a Tuesday friend did say she was concerned for my sanity…!)

(Nanny did get a bunch of flowers as she always does, but…you know… 😉)

And when the kids left, I reminded Mum that she’d asked for some new wool and chosen it online, so I’d ordered it for her to knit herself a gilet type thing.  I created a pattern of three oblongs and I’m hoping that I’ll be able to do any shaping with crochet…

I’d not help out much hope that Mum would remember the plan or actually want to do any, but we sat down to start her off, and according to day she stayed there well after I left – over two hours!  (Today she has forgotten how to knit and Dad had to bring their neighbour in to remind her that she has to use both knitting needles, but I’m told these things come and go.  I’d not realised it was so fast, but you learn something new everyday.  And maybe tomorrow it will be instinctive again.) 🙂
