How to Knit a Ton When You're Supposed To Be Prepping For a 2 Day Craft Show...
... Ok, there's a recipe for THIS too! And here it is:
Recipe for Knitting When You Have No Time To Knit
- Take one 12 year old boy (ok, my son, Kyle)
- Add one Rip-Stick scooter, the kind with movable type feet, where you have to really have your balance under control
- Add the fact that Kyle doesn't know how to use the Rip Stick
- Mix in Max, Kyle's friend who was teaching Kyle how to use the Rip Stick
- Take a second scooter, one with a very sharp edge, that Max was riding, right behind Kyle...
- Throw in a good backwards fall
- Mix it all together.....
- And, you will end up with a trip to 2 ERs (the first one thought there could be some torn tendon action, and sent us to Children's Hospital)
So, yep, 4 hours of knitting. But at least there was no torn tendon, and only one layer of skin had to be stitched up. The 2 doctors remarked how calm Kyle and I were... I reported we'd been through this before. Yes, a couple of years ago, Kyle tore open the front of his shin, about 6" long. (sorry if I'm grossing you out) There were 2 layers of stitches to fix that bad boy. The doctor gave me a big lecture on how to prevent scars. Kyle and I just rolled our eyes... Scars and 12 year old boys? Heck, they go together!!! Kyle's decided he's going to be Frankenstein for Halloween. Sounds about right. He's got a great head start!
