Better yet, another blog by a KNITTER. Who COOKS and has KIDS and likes to talk about BOOKS. All things that have been lacking in the blogsphere until now.

I am Kim, a SAHM to three children. I am not sure how much about my kids I will reveal in this blog as of yet. I am a professional knitter by trade--it's one of those things you don't aspire to in high school, but it happens. I design knit *things* and sell them.

My husband is my business backer, he didn't want to be my partner. LOL Which is fine by me, since we have serious differences of opinion on a lot of things and I don't want to have to compromise that much when it comes to yarn and my creativity.

We live in the Midwest. It's kind of my goal to move out of this area, which would accomplish a few things: get us out of this boring area, find better schools for our kids, move me away from my ILs.

I garden and as usual, am overwhelmed by the amount of produce that comes out of it. I decided against the zucchinni plant this year which in itself saved me many sobbing nights begging neighbors to just take them and do whatever they want with them.

However, it's tomato season!! These are just a handful of the tomatoes I'm dealing with today. I have transformed about 30 of the plum tomatoes into a pot of sauce. The rest will be canned with basil leaves and garlic cloves when I decide I can handle it. I also have a second wave of green beans, which is delightful because I didn't get enough in the first wave due to Mexican Bean Beetles.




Now, onto the kids portion of this post:

My 6 year old son is dealing with yet another case of tonsillitis and missed the first day of school. Which was a real bummer, since he's starting at a new private Country Day school. The pediatrician is suggesting we look into seeing an ENT about this because this is 6 cases of similar infections in a span of 6 months. I struggle with this because I hate to see him get these infections so frequently and miss out on things (he missed 14 days of school last year due to illness!) but surgery on my little man freaks.me.out.

I think it's time to end this post and go start peeling tomatoes.

Oh, almost forgot the KNITTING portion:

On the needles is a sock in Lorna's Laces "Bittersweet" colorway. It is going to be a kneesock since these skeins go so far. Love this yarn!
