For any of those who are keeping track, I did finish knitting Chad's warm and fuzzy scarf in time. He seems to be very happy with it, so I'm happy that he's happy. No big knitting project in plans yet. For now I'm just going to knit some dish and wash cloths to practice different stitch designs.

The new mice are slowly growing in their baby fuzz and venturing more and more out of the nest. On my last count attempt, I think I spotted seven mice. Tomorrow night I'm planning on freshening up their tank and getting a closer look at the babies. Early on, before their fur really grows in (they're still kind of naked and pinkish) the easiest way to determine the girls from the boys (prior to sexual maturity) is by their nipples. You learn something new every day :)
