RAWR FAIL

The kilt hose are beautiful. 

And I am going to rip the everloving shit out of them. 

 Kilvarock Kilt Hose

The pattern is one-size, relying on ribbing to keep them form-fitting with no decreases. So they are tubes, and the ankles are the same size as the calves. 

NO. 

The ribbing fit my not-quite-4-year-old. 

When I squeezed them on, my legs looked like spiral hams.

Also in FAIL, I hauled the shmoopy shcarf out from under my desk and bound it off. The last month was all contented grey, and it was really boring to work on, even at 2 rows a day. Instead of a snapshot of a year, it is a snapshot of a breakup, over a period of about 7 months.

It's an interesting visual study. And I kind of hate it.


SO ANYWAY

The kids have been building skateboards through a program with the school. For $25, they get the forms, glue the layers, sand them down, paint them, put on the hardware, and leave with a contraption with which to break their faces.

Gavin has more sci-fi nerdliness than athletic grace, and covered his board in spacecraft, robots, and aliens. It's pretty fantastic.

A box of yarn is coming. Big plans.
