Those scarves look like a lot of work and there you are on number three. Amazing! Glad you were able to spend time with your oldest boy. Mine left California back to Denver yesterday. I think it is just crazy that we expect kids of any age to be focused all the time, especially after a holiday. Nothing wrong with you or Little B for feeling the way you do.

I'm loving Malabrigo Rios, too, and I think it was your blog where I first saw it in your Earth Fairy Button Cowls. How much yarn did you use for each one, do you remember?

And I always love LB's big smile, such a cheeky one too. My sons are at home for another week and half, it has been so good having them home, maybe I'll have to plan a yarn shopping trip too for when they leave. And yep, I never have the needles I need either, and now I use circular so much which of course come in different lengths, the possibilities are endless. <br />Have a good week.
