Chicago #2 is growing nicely, the back is finished and I started the left front. I decided to knit the buttonband at the same time instead of picking up the stitches later and it looks okay.
I am quite pleased with my progress considering that the children were on holiday this week and normally I wouldn't do much knitting when I have a house full... I must say that the semi-finals of "Britain 's got talent" all through the week helped the needles clicking away...
Remember 
those slippers I made last year? I hadn't worn them till very recently and my teenage daughter saw them, liked them and wants ME to knit her a pair!... You must forgive me but I am still recovering from the shock. I thought that I wasn't cool (you know, being a parent and all that...) and now, my daughter wants me to MAKE her something!!! I think this is the best compliment I will ever get....
Très joli compliment en effet :) Mais ça ne m'étonne pas car tes chaussons sont super jolis !!

I really should have read this post before making the fronts of Chicago, I am not a big fan of picking up stitches. Now it´s too late, but I will know better next time!
And I love your exitment about your daughter´s wish, isn´t it always thrilling when the younger ones are liking what we are doing, making and saying? Makes us a little less unsecure in our hearts and a little more feeling up-to-date or let´s say cool.

Je comprends le choc, car les ados et les jeunes ne veulent plus de tricot qui font "ringards" d'après eux. Alors la mode du tricot revient en force on dirait ? MAis ces ballerines sont aussi très mignonnes, aps étonnant qu'elle te les ait demandées ! Bon dimanche !
