nacramamoThis time period was stupidly busy because it was the Kids' birthday and the other driving parent was gone so I had to shuttle the other kid to activities.
Day 19
We celebrated the kids' birthday a bit early, since one of them would be away for the actual day. I made a double batch of oatmeal cookies as one kid's dessert:
I also made a double batch of chocolate chip cookie dough for the other kid, to be baked the next day:

I fixed a kid's broken chain clasp:

I think I also knitted about 5 rows on a baby hat, but forgot to take a photo.
Day 20
I washed 4 skeins of yarn:
[ID: 4 just-washed skeins of yarn of various colors draped over hangers and hung out to dry on a porch beam. End ID]
And made 4 1/2 center-pull yarn balls. The one skein of yarn that's tangled mess is the one that gave me so much trouble getting into a skein for washing.
[ID: 4 center-pull balls of yarn in various colors, and a half-ball wrapped on a cardboard nostepinne, on top of a tangled mess of pastel variegated yarn. End ID]
And I baked a couple of pans of chocolate chip cookies, of which I forgot to take a photo.
Day 21
This day was really quite busy, so all I had the energy to do was bake a couple of pans of chocolate chip cookies (of which I forgot to take a photo), and work on winding the current center-pull ball of yarn. Unfortunately, the yarn got caught on something, and broke, so I'll just wind a second ball of this yarn.

Day 22
I knitted the last 13 rows on the baby hat:
[ID: 25 rows of white/yellow/orange/pink/blue/purple variegated yarn knitted on a purple round loom. End ID]
And then finished the hat completely. I liked how the yellow bits of the yarn formed almost a lightning bolt. (I didn't plan that!)
