There has not been a ton of knitting around here, but do have a couple of photos to show you, and I also want to publicly remember a great man on his day. Most people are familiar with MLKjr's "I have a Dream" speech, in DC, and if you have never heard his delivery of this speech, I highly recommend this , to see for yourself... but there was so much more to this wonderful man. Last evening my husband brought down an enormous book called The Essential Writings of Martin Luther King, Jr. Our children looked at it and said, that is just his "essential" writings?? How much was there all together? Well, a lot. His death was a great loss to our entire nation. I am glad we have a day to remember and honor him. Thank you, Dr. King. On another note, here is the sorry state of son #3 sweater: Today I might get some knitting done on it, believe it or not. It is seriously crushing my knitting output. Unless I am in a slump. Say it isn't so. Here is the crumpled stat...

If there is even a faithful reader remaining, you are certainly wondering what in the world I am doing. Not knitting, anyway. At least, not much. I have made some progress on the Brown sweater for son #3. The thing is, it's just so Brown. Flat dull brown, and the yarn feels less luscious than the last Malabrigo and... right. Actually, yes, there is something else I'd rather be working on, but son #3 is dying for his sweater and if he even saw me working on something else... well, he'd realize the sweater is moving into the "when are you going to work on my quilt mommy?" zone. (Notice: not "when are you going to finish it?" but "When are you going to work on it?" Sad, very sad. And I feel a beast. Yes I need to just work on it, but can't I unpack my knitting books first? :)
