day of the Dads

We received presents today from both my dad and S's dad.

My dad sent us food. Always useful :D ( too many relatives )

Anyway, the other package today was from S's dad, W. W collects clocks. He has probably well over 60 antique clocks in his den. Large ones, small ones. Generally not grandfather clocks - he prefers wall clocks and desk clocks. Some are unique, some are just cute, some are very valuable and fragile, some are only mildly valuable and mildly fragile. He sent us one of his clocks. It was in a very large box. Open the large box, dig through styrofoam peanuts, find medium box. Open medium box, unwrap bubble wrap, find small styrofoam box. Which is the original packaging for the Atmos clock contained within. An Atmos!!! Now we have to figure out where to put it - one doesn't just set an Atmos on an end table where the cat can get at it. Wow.

Now back to finishing knitting.

the dilemma of sock yarn

This entire post was meant to go in the crochet community, which for some weird reason seems to have been deleted! So I'm storing it here until I find out what happened to crochet in the last 36 hours! ( crochet post )
