Itchy

This was going to be a post with lots of pictures of my first pair of 2-at-a-time socks.
This was going to be a post with lots of funny stories about my fantastic weekend of massage and friends and knitting.
This was going to be a post about anything except what it's actually about.

Bean spent the weekend with my parents. My mom brought her home at 7 this morning and she took a shower. Then she came in and woke me up, saying that she thought she had lice.

Oh yes ma'am. Lice.

I have never had lice (and I don't now, thank you very much). My sister had lice dozens of times and I never did. So we're thinking that my nephew had it and brought it to my mom's house and then Bean picked it up.

I ran right on over to Walgreens and bought a kit and extra combs. She shampooed with the anti-lice shampoo and then we used this gel stuff to comb through and then she rinsed that out. Meanwhile I stripped her bed, sprayed it down and put new sheets on it. Now we're running everything through the washing machine. I'm going to spray the couches and stuff just in case... but I think we have it under control

I checked my entire head and found nothing... but I'm still itchy. I called Kerri to let her know I wouldn't be at work today and she was itchy over the phone. If you're itchy now, too I'm sorry.

In knitting news...
I did finish my first pair of 2-at-a-time socks. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this method. They are short socks (the cuff is about an inch and a half long), but they only took me a week. I have started the February "On Your Toes" socks from Twist using the same method and they are fairly addictive.
