Stripes

22 Dec

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

I tried to post this photo another way, and it didn’t work. I’m continuing to make progress on my Chevron Baby Blanket, and every stripe I add makes it even prettier. After the white comes two greens and a dark gray. I can’t wait to finish this up. The final size will be about 2’x3′ and will weight nearly 2 lbs. I wish I could shrink down to baby size so I could cuddle under it.

Where have I been?

After finishing up the vest and shawl for my parents’ birthdays this summer, I was really burned out. I took a break from knitting heavily, and I took a break from this blog. I have to admit, it was nice to recharge my batteries and get ready to tackle some knitting projects full of love once again.

In the past few months I have completed a sweater for my husband, some hats, a pair of slippers and other small items. It’s been great and relaxing.

Since I’m now knitting more consistently, I’ll get back into posting on this blog as I go. Right now I have two projects on my needles. One, pictured above, is the Baby Aran Bodysuit by Eileen Casey, and another is the Chevron Baby Blanket by Purl Soho.

Hmm… Those projects have something in common, don’t they? Well, the big reveal is:

I’m not pregnant!

Why am I knitting so much baby stuff (not counting the pile of finished projects I have tucked away in a box) if I’m not even pregnant? Call it wishful knitting.

If you’ve stuck around long enough to see me return to the blog, thank you. I hope to share some more pictures and stories with you in the coming months.
