I know you have all been waiting for an update on my baby knitting marathon!  (that was sarcasm…)  But I am having lots of fun, as you can probably tell!

Here’s the finished baby blanket for Adam and Martha’s new baby.  It took a long time because I used small needles so it would be nice and warm.  I love it. The pink is very soft and subtle.  I can’t wait to see her wrapped up in it!

Then I needed to make something for friends David and Linda’s expected baby, Margarita.  So I bought some acrylic yarn and whipped up another one of these cute hats, but this is in the smallest size.  Wow did I hate that yarn!  These hats are cool because if it is warm you can button the ear flaps inside and still have the ties to tie it on with.

Then I started in on a ruffled jacket for Adam and Martha’s baby.  I am excited about this one, and once it’s done I think I’ll make some little ruffled pants.  Am I going nuts here? (Click on the link for the pattern & picture)

It’s funny, the baby blanket required a lot of counting for the basketweave pattern.  And for some reason I started counting everything!  Steps in our staircase – 24. Seconds of Henry’s first pee in the morning – 12. Seconds to fill a glass at the water bottle – 8. I counted and counted. And counted and then counted some more.

End of knitting report, see you later!
