An amazing two compliment day.

This morning my son's teacher (who was also his teacher in kindergarten, and was younger son's teacher in kindergarten) told me how much she still loved the shawl I knit for her when DS was in her class. She said she loves to wear it and that I had such good taste. If you're not on Ravelry, it was a Clapotis, and I gave it away so that I would "have permission" to knit another. Not that I'd never keep two of the same pattern for myself, but sometimes it is more fun to give something to someone when you know it will be appreciated and worn.

Then later in the day one of the girls in ds's class told me that her brother was of late carrying around the blanket I made for him when he was born, calling it his "blankey." Hmm, blankey never made the Ravelry project page. I have so many missing items!

All in all not a bad day. A day of two knitting compliements.

Why Mommio?

When my son was learning to talk, after mastering "mama" and "dada," mommy and daddy somehow became "mommio" and "daddio." I don't know why we became the hepcat parents, and he doesn't use those terms often today, but we still joke about it around our house.
