Inching toward progress

I opened my Etsy account, also Knitster37.  Not that I have anything for sale.  I did some research and there are thousands of stitch markers, mostly cheaper than I was hoping for.  Ah, well, times are tough, and it's not an original idea.  I stole it from Somer.  Even though she blessed me. Somer, feel free to use my idea for baby bibs. There are some really cute ones on Etsy, but they're small and knit up fast like dishcloths, and you certainly know how to do those.  I'm thinking of trying for some sets, matching hat/booties/bib/blanket kind of thing, maybe just in pairs and offering more on consignment.  I did shop for supplies, too, got myself some little baggies for the finished product and some supplies.  I did see some opening clasps at the craft store and wasn't sure if I wanted them, but now I see that those are for crochet stitch markers.  So I think I will pick some up later.  Right now I still want to finish my past due knitting projects before I do anything for the shop.

My name change is in a holding pattern waiting for my driver's license.  I got my social security card, yay.

Jack is doing great with the potty but still has an accident a day.  We still have 2 weeks until he's 3, so I think he'll get it better by then.

Charlie slept from 12:15ish until 6:30 last night and it felt great.

My unfinished knitting-still have a lot of the fembot to do, and my friend is leaving on Friday.  I wanted to finish it and wash it in time for her to take with her.  Progress was halted by some tangle in the yarn, because it's so soft and fuzzy, but I got it all squared away now.  I also cast on birthday socks for Dad, even though I should finish one project before I start another one...all the others are too big to travel well, so this is purse knitting now.  I might cheat and use some previously started baby blanketness that I found in the closet and add elaborate border to it.
