This is my pile of knitting. I've been going through a big phase of "cast-on-itis". I'm not sure if it's denial that baby is coming in less then two months & that list of things that I really should do will get done somehow. Or if I'm just too tired to move around all too much, or what. But there has been A LOT of sitting on the couch knitting. While I knit Ree sits next to me & "knits", or we read, or she does some art. It's good bonding time for us I keep telling myself!
I finished the My Cup of Tea socks yesterday!! Then I immediately started an Aviatrix hat for Baby V. I'm not happy with the way the earflap is coming together. But I figured out how to fix it this morning. It's a fun, fast knit. The stripy purple socks are the last of the Christmas gifts I need to make. They are still my "leave the house knitting" so I don't need to concentrate so much on the pattern.
And I dug out Ree's rainbow blanket this morning. That's part of her Christmas gift so I'll pick that up again this week.
I finished Quiet over the weekend & started reading Z: A novel of Zelda Fitzgerald but it's going slow so I haven't gotten into it. Plus with the Red Sox in the playoffs there hasn't been a lot of time for reading. I knit like crazy during the games though!
It's wonderful bonding time! Enjoy those snuggles and enjoy your rest :)
ReplyDeleteoh, me, too!!! (cardinals fan here....knitting like crazy!) will we perhaps be on opposing sides????????
ReplyDeleteI love cast on itis. It's a wonderful disease to have :) Love all your projects and two months?????boy does time fly (for me).
ReplyDeleteSit and enjoy the quiet time with Ree. You totally deserve it!
ReplyDeleteGo Sox!!!!!!!! I think that color Aviatrix will look stunning on a baby. That is pretty close to the color I made. I've got two more to make in the next coming week. One is an IOU hat and the other is a surprise. Luckily they knit up pretty fast!
ReplyDeleteSitting, knitting, reading ... hmmm, sounds perfect!
ReplyDeleteThat's really what you're supposed to be doing right now anyway. I can attest to the fact that it doesn't matter what gets done or not before a baby comes. You can imagine how much I *hadn't* done at 34 weeks with my second...but the baby comes and everything goes as it should anyway. Babies are remarkably content with not much at all. She'll just need you. :-)
