Sleeepy…

Knitting? What’s that? Life has been busy with a new baby & a toddler. To be fair, my wonderful husband does most of the toddler chasing around, while I sit on the couch and try and fill the baby-boy up with breastmilk. I swear this boy is insatiable! He doesn’t sleep long enough for me to get involved in anything yet, and I try and rest when he does. That doesn’t always work either. I’m trying to figure out how to nurse and knit at the same time, but haven’t mastered it yet. :)
I did manage to make it to my Saturday knitting group this week, and did cast on 10 stitches for Hardangervidda while there. I managed to cast on the rest of them in very small bouts the rest of this weekend. I have decided to make the Medium size because the size L didn’t seem like it removed enough stitches to be of use. I was 6″ over in the size for the XL. Yes, this could come back and bite me - and be TOO small, but I’m willing to take my chances. The only place it might be too small is in the hem, and that won’t take that long to do and figure out.
The Ingeborg knit along officially started this weekend, and I’m already falling behind. Such is life!
One other random knitting related item. Recently I went to a not-so-LYS to buy some fru-fru yarn. They had problems getting their credit card machine to work. Fine, I paid cash. I got my statement and went through it tonite, and guess what - their stupid CC machine did work and charged my card. This is the most expensive fru-fru yarn ever since I’ve been double charged for it. I’m debating my options: 1) call the bank and tell them I was incorrectly charged - they should reverse it without too much trouble. 2) Call the shop and let them try and sort it out by crediting my account. This might be more hassle than it’s worth because they were pretty unable to get the credit card machine to tell them anything useful last time, I’d hate to be charged a third time for this yarn!

Sounds like you’ve got a full house! Glad things are going well.
On the credit card, I’d ask the store to fix it first. If it’s not taken care of by the next billing cycle, then go to the card company. Just make sure to save your receipt!
