Finally! After six days I have read all of the messages that accumulated while I was gone. Now I have something to share. I cannot knit for the next five days, because I have cross-stitching to do. As most of you know, I am a leader in a Sparks unit (the youngest Girl Guides in Canada, aged 5 and 6). This year, all three of us leaders are retiring. One is pregnant, one has taken a new job with more responsibilities, and I just don't want to work with new people, as I have gotten on so well with these two. So, we have decided to make a memento for our little girls, and we are cross-stitching trefoils in pink for each one. Pink is the official colour of Sparks. Even though they are quite small, each one takes two hours of stitching, so my knitting has to be laid aside temporarily. They will look lovely when they are done, I think.
