Rabid, Just Rabid

OMGosh!!!!!!

My friend Val is pregnant!!! YAY! She is probably the person I feel closest to at the Kingdom Hall, partly because she has kids who are closer in age to Tiri (she has 3, one 8, one 6 and one 6 months older than Tiri). Now she's going to have number 4.

I have to make her something for the baby. Now.

I'm thinking booties. Small, simple, fairly easy to go gender neutral. I want to have them done for her on Sunday.

And I so hope I am pregnant. It's possible, just the waiting game now. If I had baby rabies before, boy do I have them now! She told me tonight before the meeting at the Hall.

I have Ravelry set to all the patterns tagged "baby," "free" and "English" and then I put booties as the search criteria. Must get back to browsing.

I love new babies!

Nine Lines Washcloth

Hello again. How is everyone? It's going about the same here, Jerek's still in the same shape. I did have a nice weekend. It was the circuit assembly, which is a two day series of Bible talks that takes place every year, along with the District Convention (three days) and the Special Assembly Day (one day.) There were many upbuilding Bible-based talks, and it was good to see a lot of people I haven't seen in a while.

As you can tell by the title of the post, though, the assembly isn't the main point of my writing to you this time. I made a washcloth last week. I used a stitch pattern that I learned last fall from a afghan block. It was called Plowed Rows, but I didn't think that name fit the washcloth. Instead I am calling it Nine Lines, because it has nine lines. (I know, ain't I creative? (-:)

Here is the cloth. Not a great photo, but as good as I can do right now.





And on to the pattern.

I think this would be a great pattern to learn how to slip stitches with…
