New Martial Artist

In June the Engineer began taking Tae Kwon Do classes with his sister. He had been waiting for the day to come for a long time, and he shows his earnestness by paying excellent attention in his classes. It was me, mom, who kept forgetting to bring the camera!

Until now. In these first two photos the Engineer and another student are working on their white belt form. Later in in the class he and a partner are working on kicking drills. He is working hard and it is paying off. Last Friday he was awarded his first star for free sparing techniques. Way to go, Kiddo!

Blue & Green

The Artist earned her blue belt at Tae Kwon Do last week. And last night I completed an all-green outfit for Honey. The skirt and hat patterns are free patterns from Knitting On The Net dot com.

For the sweater I began with a free pattern but I don't remember where it was found. That is just as well! It seemed to have errors in the number of stitches it called for in the cast on compared to the number needed to complete the ribbing pattern. I only followed the pattern to get an idea of how many rows to knit on the pieces. I had just enough yarn to complete the set. What is left of the ball of yarn is the size of a large grape.
