And so is my crafting"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>My daughter was supposed to finish school next week, but they stopped taking attendance on Wednesday and all the other parents stopped bringing their kids to school.  I took her to school on Wednesday and waiting for any other kids to show up and it never happened so I just took her home.  She actually said that she would be ok on her own and would play all by herself all day (she can entertain herself).  So we ended up going to the pool and then again on Thursday.  And in a moment of complete crazy parenting I banned television.  So now I need to find ways to keep her entertained all day without the use of TV.<br \/>\nI have already signed her up for Summer School which starts next week. So I just need to find stuff for her to do from 1 pm until bed time.<br \/>\nEnough about that, let me tell you about what I have been crafting.<br \/>\nMy <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chocolatemintsinajar.com\/craft\/2012\/06\/who-wants-to-sew-on-buttons-when-you-can-start-something-new\/\">purple cardigan<\/a> is being worked at, at the rate of 2 rows a day if I am lucky.  I should have joined the armholes by now but I am taking it really slow.<\/p>\n<p>I also cast on a pair of socks, for Sock Knitters Anonymous June challenge on Ravelry.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/chocolatemintsinajar\/7353594534\/\" title=\"Desert Glacial Socks by ChocolateMintsInaJar, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8167\/7353594534_f87052ac0e.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" alt=\"Desert Glacial Socks\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And then for some reason I started a crochet lapghan\/throw.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/chocolatemintsinajar\/7365575914\/\" title=\"Easy Peasy Shrug as a Lapghan by ChocolateMintsInaJar, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7095\/7365575914_30bec2bedd.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" alt=\"Easy Peasy Shrug as a Lapghan\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So if you are counting that is 4 WIPs; cardigan, socks, lapghan and the uncoordinated blanket.  That is really hard for me, I never do that.<br \/>\nBut right now, I am going to hit publish and go try and knit more than two rows on my cardigan while my daughter plays with her beads (they were mine but she has claimed them and is calling them beans).<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/chocolatemintsinajar\/7188785047\/\" title=\"Making Bead Necklaces and Stuff by ChocolateMintsInaJar, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7224\/7188785047_3e2fe9c9a7.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" alt=\"Making Bead Necklaces and Stuff\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My daughter was supposed to finish school next week, but they stopped taking attendance on Wednesday and all the other parents stopped bringing their kids to school.
