I'm home with a sick sweetie girl. You know the kind of sick I mean... the post nasal drip cough-cough and stuffy nose that keeps her at home but she still has tons of energy sick. By tons of energy, I mean every five minutes, I nag her to lie down and rest. And nonstop chatter from her. Nonstop. How come kids don't come with off switches? Yeah, I know the kid's cute, but cute and quiet can be so much better than cute and annoying. Okay, sometimes.
Let's just immerse ourselves in knitting, shall we? I finished the second Easy Baby Cardigan made with the BSA Organic Cotton and was in such a rush to wrap it that of course I forgot to take a picture. Sigh. I did whip up this little hat the next day using the leftover yarn and some other BSA Organic Cotton yarn scraps in other colors.
Project: Scrap Happy Celebration Hat
Yarn: BSA Organic Cotton scraps in sand, bone and sage.
Needles: Knit Picks Options US Size 8
Start: February 17, 2008
Finish: February 17, 2008
Thoughts: Cute little cap; wish I had more of the sand colored yarn but I gots what I got. I love this pattern because it uses scraps of yarn and makes stash diving fun and interesting. Definitely an easy go-to project for baby gifts.
Since the baby projects are mostly done for now, I'm working on the Lenore socks with the STR Lenore yarn that's part of my knitting group's knitalong. I finally finished up the lace portion at the top, and am knitting down the leg. The 2 row repeat is a breeze and makes for interesting and fast social knitting... the best type.
This just in... when I asked her just now to be quiet for a bit, she said, "Talking is my life. I have to keep talking." I just saw a glimpse of my future, people, and it looked bleak. Oh, and I'm getting the guilt trip which consists of a kiss on the cheek and, "That's how much I want to partner read with you right now, but you don't want to partner read with me."
With the rain we're getting here in So Cal, I also have my sights set on finishing the Impulse sweater. Oh and it would be nice to finish Sweetie Girl's Mia shrug/sweater, even though she won't stop talking. Do you think I could bribe her with it?
