Finished a Few Things

I broke down and bought a new hook, and I finished up Fritz's blanket! :)


It's so soft! :)

His sweater has the start of a sleeve, but I haven't gotten too much farther on it.

I did make booties for him!


I started a hat to match these booties. I'm calling these booties and hat "Diaper Bag Booties" and "Diaper Bag Hat" because that's just where they are going. I got to thinking that I should keep a hat and booties in the bag, because there are lots of variable for a warm weather baby. You have them dressed for heat, and then you go in somewhere that's chilly, like the grocery store. :) Yay knitting excuse.

Last Saturday I went to an all-day birthing class at Sacred Heart. It was sort of interesting. I did some internal head shaking about a few things, but I also liked some of the things I heard. They're pretty adamant about the breastfeeding, which makes me happy. They said they want skin to skin for at least an hour after Baby is born! Oh that sounds like bliss.

32 weeks today......

    That blanket pattern is really unusual. I'm sure it will have lots of admirers.

      Thank you. :) I was browsing the yarn in Walmart before an appointment one day and the pattern was on the yarn label. I rarely (if ever) make the patterns on yarn labels, but this one just had to be made! And with the super bulky yarn, I knew I at least had a chance to finish it before he made his appearance.

Back to Sacred Heart

I'm working on things for Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire again. :) I went on a bereavement item kick for a bit around Freddy's birthday, and have been doing baby hats for at least the last week and a half. My favorite were the ones I knitted this little heart design into. Heart pattern can be found here:  Lacy Heart Design  It's not an actual hat pattern, I just worked it into the plain stockinette part of the hat (knit in the round, so remember to knit the purls if you try it!!) I did a coral colored one that I promptly misplaced (😕😕😕😒), then this white one, and then a multicolored one. I've also done some plain stockinette. I tried a new decrease on one that made an X on top instead of a slanting swirl that I really liked. And the burial things. I won't post them all, here here are a few: And the hat with the X decrease. I suppose that has to be all for now, Squish is crying in baby jail. It's supper time I think. She'...
