I finished seaming the body together last week, and have been slowly inching away at the sleeve lining and ear linings. Very quick to knit, but doing everything x2 was a bit of a bitch. I don't know about knitting with linings again, even if they are baby-sized.

The front:



The back:



The pocket still needs to be seamed:





Last night I stayed up until 1AM finishing the last sleeve lining and watching Season 3 of Rescue Me. I'll probally finish the seaming tonight, and then off to the next project. I should probally pick up an old one and finish that up too.

I just bought a bunch of Peaches & Creme yarn online last night for Mason-Dixon BallBand Dishcloth's. Lots of them. If you could see my kitchen, you would know why. And maybe if I finish them, I'll show you why.

Birthday Boy!

The Different stages of turning one...

The turning forward of the carseat:



Going to go to your favorite little trains at Griffith Park:



Getting to look at your lit candle on cupcake before mommy blows it out for you:



Getting to share cupcakes with the doggies that came to the party (because they heard there would be free cupcakes):




And the best part...



Happy Birthday my sweet baby boy!

Almost One...

One year ago last night I started getting contractions that would eventually, ever so slowly, turn into four or so tretcherous days of labor. I can't believe my little man is almost one...

New Projects

I went on a binge today...at Michael's of all places. I go through spurts of craftiness, buy a bunch of crap, then never get around to it. This time I started kind of small (yarn, yarn and some scrapbooking stuff). I'm not the scrapbookie-type, but figure I've got a kid now and maybe I should be doing something to show him when he gets bigger. But he's a boy, so will he even care?



I wasn't planning on buying yarn, but I saw this taupe Lion Brand yarn and was inspired. I liked the color, and after sticking a skein on each side of my sons head (like Princess Lea buns) I realized there was no color more perfect for him than this. So I bought as many as I could find in one dye lot (about 7) because I would rather take one or two back than not have enough, which is what seems to ALWAYS happen. Now I need to decide on a project. In a postpartum fit of anger and frustration I threw out my beloved Trellis that I had unraveled to make a smaller size. Now me and my pocketbook wish I hadn't. I love the color I had originally used, and still plan on eventually remaking it, sometime really soon. Now do I make one in each color, just one in 12 mos. and the other in 18? Or just make a different project with it all together?

While flinging taupe yarn into my shopping cart I also noticed the perfect charcoal yarn to make the Debbie Bliss Donkey Jacket. So I had to get that too.

The taupe:



The new members of my never-ending stash:




And pictures of an uber-cute baby who thinks yarn is fun too, just in a very different way...




So, knitting-wise, I think I'M BACK!!! (Kind of)...

Stitch 'n Pitch 2007

No knitting was accomplished this year, just a lot of people watching and watching the actual game. The knitting grab bags were all gone by the time we got there (ten minutes before the game started), and all that was left was the crochet goodiebags. I don't crochet, haven't since eight grade. It's too tacky-grandma for me. (No offense to hookers out there.) So I gave the bags to my sister-in-law who loves to crochet.



Go Dodgers!
