A sweet friend and I started walking 2 or 3 miles every morning at 5:30. That is well and good IF I have slept the night before, but lately.......2 precious little girlie darlin's have been waking up repeatedly during the night. Last night at 3:00 (am!!!!) Madelyn woke up (again), and I carried her back to bed (again). I told her that she was awake waaaaaaaay too early. She looked at me with those beautiful eyes and used her cutest voice and said, "I am just a little girl...I don't know how to read clocks yet".
I am a tired mommy, but so blessed to be able to stay at home with these little ones. I have taught all three to fingerknit this week. Molly has knitted probably 100 feet of beautiful chained knitting, and Mason isn't far behind her. Madelyn and I are struggling with her knitting because she can't decide whether to knit right-handed or left-handed :) She hasn't picked a hand for eating or writing either.
Here is a picture of sweet Madelyn after her sleepless night, Molly and her wonderful knitting, and Mason with his handmade cross necklace. They are such cuties!

Such precious pictures - and kids! :-) I think they might be progressing more on their finger knitting than I am on my knitting. I have been distracted by work, photo scanning and reading. Ha! Soon, though! I need to pick it up before I forget how to do it.
I hope you have a good week, too, and a restful night. Thanks for the wishes for a good week here - I'm in a bit of a "blah" moment so appreciate the sweet thoughts, friend!
Much love!
Hi Mary, here is the shawl pattern.

It is similar to Jewel's pattern but uses larger needles to get you the gauge you need. I haven't made the fringe on any of mine. But I did edge mine in a simple double crochet stitich.
If you do one, make sure you post a photo for me to see :)
Blessings,
Niki
Oh my, walking at 5:30 AM! You put me to shame. Really ... oh how I needed that little prompt.
Just love Madelyn's sweet words. Don't they just melt your mama heart?
How wonderful that they're all learning to finger knit! What fun.
Hope you get a wee bit of rest today.
Blessings,
Lea
I miss those kids :(! Give them all a hug for me! Love you, Mom!
Cute. And good for you on walking. I miss walking in Amarillo!
