KnitterlyNotions

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 B...

I am in another afghan square swap, and this one is going a bit better than the last one. I finished my sixth square today. It looks like this: As you can tell, it needs blocked and the ends woven in. Right now, though, I can only block one square at a time and one of these squares is currently pinned out. So the granny will have to wait. I like the fun fur accent though. It's kind of fun. I found some fun fur and eye lash yarn in the stash cart at Yarnology for this project, and when I get the chance I will be checking it out again. Here are the other blocks I have done: Not too shabby, I don't think! :D The last two are all blocked and labeled and everything already. You have no idea how much this pleases me. :) Hopefully I can keep this streak going. I would love to be the first one to be finished and have her squares submitted.
