The Kite Guy

It has been really neat to watch Reed re-discover a childhood love of kites.  What has been even neater is watching people take to the skies with their own kites.  Reed is often sought out by those people for a little technical assistance and he always helps.

Some of the other "big kite" fliers have little patience with the children attracted to their kites, telling them to stay back and not to touch.  Reed is the opposite he encourages the kids to touch the big kites and even fly them with him.  He purposely carries inexpensive toy kites and gives them to kids and their parents at the park.

I think I will keep him, he is a good guy.

Reed wanted some fingerless mitts for flying his kites this winter. They turned out great and fit perfectly. Of course since I finished them Winter has disappeared and it was a balmy 70 degrees today on February 2nd. I continue to work on Deep Peace. Lace knitting is good for me as it requires total concentration but I am not good at total concentration so am ripping repeat nine out again. I blame the damn Republicans! I was knitting along during the Florida primary debate with no problems and then...Newt Gingrich mentioned building a colony on the moon and I dropped several stitches. He is one scary dude!
