Kids and Knitting Needles

[Birdy]

I have a 5 y/o and a 7 y/o. I know enough to know that if I leave something out, it will be touched.

I have two cats... I know enough that yarn/wool and cats equals cat heaven.

I keep my WIP's and Needles in a large old suitcase/trunk.


I to knit socks. As a treat to celebrate me knitting my very first pair of socks for myself (not my first pair of socks) I splurged on Rosewood needles.

Last night I finished my first sock for myself. I carefully packed everything away.

This morning I went to cast on my next sock. To find only 2 of 5 needles.

I tore my suitcase apart.


Sinking ... I called my kids.

No one admitted it, but a search of their rooms turned up 6 halves of Rosewood knitting needles.

Mamma is

My kids are going to be lucky to have any fun for a month!!! Of course, neither will Mamma!

Err, and I told my DH, but as I earned the money babysitting and fudged on the cost of the knitting needles...

I when I'll be able to get me another set of needles. I'll likely have to frog my first sock and reknit it on a set of needles I own already.
