Knitting hits mainstream TV?

Okay, so WonderBoy is sitting, watching Playschool last week... and he runs up to me, exclaiming, "Look Mummy, Alex is knitting! Look, knitting!" And what do you know, Alex Pappas is wielding the needles (awkwardly, but wielding them nonetheless) to finish casting off the little blanket that's been knit for Darcy the Donkey to keep her warm. I so wish I could source a picture to add - I was so stoked to see this happening on kids TV! What impressed me more was that they seemed to have deliberately tried to avoid the stereotype of a woman, especially an older woman knitting.

It looks like it's been quite a long time between drinks, blog-wise... perhaps only two posts this month. Boo. There's been a lot going on with the kids and the family during the last couple of weeks, with Lola-Frog and now WonderBoy feeling crook, a couple of birthdays and above all else, Lola-Frog being fitted for a new hip-brace that's to be worn twenty-four hours a day to finalise the treatment for her hip dysplasia.

It feels like I've barely got any knitting done this month.
