Day: March 9, 2012

 I have cleaned out my knitting and crochet queue so that I don’t have it chock full of baby items and I am replacing them with comfort items.

I am looking for distraction and a few extremely fast shawls are what I need. Beautiful yarn, beautiful yet simple patterns, and finished projects that will brighten my days.
First is the Simmer Dim Shawl, I am using an Alina Shea Creations yarn,  Balance, in Primavera a springy, lemony-lime color.

Simmer Dim Shawl Pattern.

Next is from the newest issue of Knitty, the Good Day Sunshine shawl . I am going to use another Alina Shea yarn, Grassy Feet in Fire of Life, beautiful red.

 I still have a want to make little baby boy things. I have a stack of projects that need ends woven in but no baby to use them. For now I will get them finished a little at a time and set them aside.

Today was a good day and matching yarns and patterns pleased me.

$9 for this foldable Graco bassinet. Worse comes to worse the baby can sleep in it for the first couple months if we don’t find a crib or space for a crib. I really haven’t made space for this little being that will be here in 3.5 months. Probably need to do that.

All 3 kids stockings finished and hung! Of course, they can’t be filled while hanging…way too heavy for that. Now we’ll need stockings for Josh, the brewing baby, and I.
I have a day to finish Josh’s birthday gifts; a single crochet beanie and a manly shawl/scarf thingy I am making up as I go along. Crossing my fingers it works out how I want.
