The swatch, er, Swatch box is the most impressive set-up I've seen in a long time. Can you post a source for the little boxes and cards?
Sure. Really they are just card tray boxes that I bought at Staples. Nothing fancy but they do the job.
On knitting...
Clean, simple texture totally floats my boat at the moment. I’ve been knitting on this piece with tunnel vision and I’ve been completely loyal to it since the first stitch. Its a miracle.
Oh, and the Pirate Paper...
We’re studying early explorers and having lots of fun with a great unit study. Its complete with lessons, printable worksheets, and project ideas. You can find it here.
These are going to be the pages of our "Captain's Log Books" as we sail the high seas looking for adventure and uncharted territory. Hopefully we'll get to putting the covers on them this afternoon.
Other news...
My sister and I convinced our mom to keep all 8 (yup... my 4 + her 4 = 8) kids tomorrow so that we could go... just the 2 of us... and do some shopping. We plan to get our hair done and go somewhere fabulous for lunch... just the 2 of us... no kids... no husbands... just us girls, a salon, and a fabulous day.
I'm guessing that's why there is an ice storm headed right for us.
Figures.
it's gorgeous. What is it? please don't tell me it's a swatch :)

Oh the texture on your knitting is gorgeous. I love it.
Love the Pirate Paper too - that must have been fun to make.
Hope that ice storm doesn't land - you and your sister will have the best day. And all your little ones will have a blast altogether with Grandma.

What fun! Both the pirates and the day of shopping! I still need to start shopping. Ugh! I'm feeling totally uninspired.
I love the purple knitting at top... can't wait to see what it's going to be.
